Presenter: Christian Zinser PhD Head of Bioinformativs at Precigen Bioinformatics Germany
Description: This presentation will give you an overview of the Genomatix Genome Analyzer (GGA) functionalities and data background.

The GGA is Genomatix’s integrated solution for the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data, gene regulation, and pathway analysis. It includes a comprehensive genome annotation and data visualization, accessible in an intuitive web-based GUI.

The biological background data consisting of annotation and gene network data provided by ElDorado plus the transcription factor knowledge contained in MatBase lets researchers analyze and interpret their experimental results in a unique biological context for 26 different species. Differential expression analysis, gene network and pathway generation, regulatory frameworks, literature analysis and binding site motif definition are only a few of the tasks that can be performed.

Presenter: Kevin Kendal PhD CEO of MacVector

Description: This workshop will focus on the analysis of Next Generation Sequencing data. It will cover alignment/assembly of NGS data to one or more reference sequences for (e.g.) RNA expression analysis, SNP detection and/or sequence confirmation as well as de novo assembly of short read (Illumina or IonTorrent) and/or long read (Sanger, PacBio or Oxford Nanopore) data for both modest sequences, like plasmids, and for entire genomes. We will also look at how you can use MacVector to identify and extract subsets of paired-end reads from large datasets so that you can focus on just those of interest to your project.
