This introductory workshop on NGS was quite useful and educating for me. Being totally new to the next generation sequencing field and bioinformatics area, I learned bioinformatic skills to a very comfortable level. Thanks to this workshop for making the complex NGS Analytic details so simple and well controlled. I am glad that I attended this workshop.

This workshop provides a strong foundation of introductory information before moving on to the hands-on analysis portion of the program during the lecture hours.
Students are assigned personal cloud computing accounts to process real big data as an overnight assignment during the program.
Laptops are supplied for the daytime instruction hours but you are welcome to bring your own. Students will need access to their own laptop for the evening assignments. Mac, PC, or Linux will work, Mac is preferred.

Dr. Allissa Dillman received her Ph.D. in neuroscience from the graduate partnership program between NIH and the Karolinska Institutet. She studied gene expression regulation, splicing and RNA editing in development and disease. Her specific interest in RNA modifications include base pair mapping in the transcriptome and their potential biological function. In 2015, she joined the National Cancer Institute for her postdoctoral work where she studies epigenetic regulation of splicing and the identification and biological function of novel RNA modifications. Throughout her scientific career she has contributed to more than 30 scientific publications and participates in mentorship and teaching of both bioinformatics and RNA biology. Dr. Dillman has also participated as a team lead for RNA related projects in multiple hackathons at the NIH.
