Levine building, Computer Classroom (room 101)
The high-throughput Genome Analyzer sequencing system generates highly accurate results in under a week for discoveries in genomics, epigenomics, gene expression, and protein-nucleic acid interactions. This high-throughput sequencing is a service of Weizmann's Biological Services Department.
The Genome Analyzer system is powered by Illumina sequencing technology, which uses a massively-parallel sequencing-by-synthesis approach to generate billions of bases of high-quality DNA sequence in each run.
The workshop will introduce the Genome Analyzer platform. We will present:
- A general overview of the technology and its applications
- A description of the outputs produced by the Illumina data analysis programs (http://bip.weizmann.ac.il/toolbox/highThroughput/outputs.htm).
- A short overview of sequence analysis tools that can be used on this data
This workshop is part of the consulting in high-throughput genomics offered by Dr. Ester Feldmesser, Dr. Dena Leshkowitz and Dr. Hershel Safer in the Bioinformatics Unit of the Biological Services Department.
