Explore the fundamentals of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies and bioinformatics in this 58-minute webinar presented by Ambry Genetics. Gain a high-level overview of sample preparation for sequencing and learn how bioinformaticians analyze the resulting data to answer important questions. Delve into topics such as historical context, data sources, laboratory analysis, sequencing techniques, quality checks, mapping, variant calling, and annotation. Discover conceptual examples of differential expression and liquid biopsy applications. No prior knowledge of laboratory techniques or bioinformatics is required. Join Dr. Brice Sarver and Brooke Overstreet, MS, CGC, as they guide you through the revolutionary world of genomic technologies, comparing Sanger and capillary sequencing methods, exploring human genome references, and discussing variant calling in interpretation.
