Fourth edition of NGS training course

Written By LINQ management

Members from the TB-CAPT, PanACEA, Seq&Treat and PANGenS projects have joined hands for the fourth time in June 2024 to implement a training series aiming at improving knowledge associated with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and their applications in the field of tuberculosis.

Just like the previous editions of the training, the latest series was very popular with the participants, who welcomed the opportunity to learn about salable and reproducible data analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) genomes.

40 participants from all over the world took part in the 2024 seminar, which comprised one week of remote training through pre-recorded sessions and hands-on tutorials. A Slack channel allowed participants to communicate in real-time via chat and live Zoom Q&A sessions were offered every day, providing attendees with the opportunity to meet experts, discuss and ask questions.

Due to the repeated success of this capacity development initiative, a fifth edition of the training course has already been scheduled for next year, 10-16 June 2025.
