TEIN4 WORKSHOP ON NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING AND BIG DATA ANALYSIS 26-28 August 2015 Venue: Salemba Campus, UNIVERSITAS INDONESIA Jakarta WORKSHOP OVERVIEW Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology is a major breakthrough in life sciences that can generate a vast amount of genetic data at a lower cost. The application of NGS in medicine can significantly improve patient management and paves the way further for the field of personalized medicine. For the time being, NGS is no yet widely used in developing countries, but it is just a matter of time before a wider adoption by these countries. In preparation for dealing with a large amount of data coming from this technology, which is measured in large size of data from terabytes and beyond, researchers need to acquire the know-how of Big Data analysis. This workshop will provide an introduction to NGS technique and data analysis . It will be held as a combination of lectures, hands-on practical sessions and discussions with case studies from biomedical research. TARGET AUDIENCE This workshop is aimed at biomedical scientists, math/computer scientists as well as clinicians planning to make use of next generation sequence data analysis. The workshop is opened to participants within TEIN beneficiary countries Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam SPEAKERS - Olga Hrydziuszko, PhD, Researcher, Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden - Hidayat Trimarsanto, BSc., Bioinformatics Research Officer, Eijkman Institute, Indonesia - Lloyd Low, PhD, Lecturer and Head of Products and Services, Perdana University Centre for Bioinformatics (PU-CBi) Malaysia - Setia Pramana, PhD, Lecturer, Department of Statistics Computation, Institute of Statistics (STIS), Indonesia PROGRAMME Day 1 Lecture 1: Introduction to NGS NGS technique demonstration Lecture 2: Principles of DNA next generation sequencing (genomics) Lecture 3: Principles of RNA next generation sequencing (transcriptomics) Day 2 Practical 1: Identifying and characterizing somatic mutations in lung adenocarcinoma (genomics) Practical 2: Identifying and characterizing genes differentially expressed in lung adenocarcinoma (transcriptomics) Day 3 Lecture: Genome annotation challenges of NGS data Practical: Annotation of gene families and assessing gene duplication and loss events REGISTRATION Registration fee is free for all and each participant is required to fill in a registration form and submit a CV for selection.
