Courses and Series

This certificate program is designed to give participants a deep dive into the challenges and proposed solutions in bioinformatics for next generation sequencing (NGS) testing. The talks go beyond the typical basics in bioinformatics of detecting simple point mutations and small indels into harder-to-detect genomic anomalies. The talks in this Certificate Program discuss common problems and challenges seen in NGS data. These include strand bias, false positives, homology to interpretation challenges with databases, and HGVS nomenclature and proposed solutions for each of these.
