[DIYbio] Re: Genomics and Next Generation Sequencing course in Silicon Valley

I will be teaching a 4 day course at UCSC Silicon Valley Extension (4 Saturdays) which is a deep dive into genomics, genetics, cell biology (on day 1), in depth explanation of the sequencing technologies available today - single molecule or ensemble sequencing (on day 2), research application of NGS such as targeted and whole genome sequencing, epigenomics, transcriptional analysis and protein nucleic acid interactions (day 3), and clinical applications of NGS from prenatal screening to early cancer detection, liquid biopsies to infectious disease monitoring (day 4).

This class in a labor-of-love for me and is distills  a decade+ experience in NGS while at Illumina, Thermo Fisher and other companies into a 4-day intensive. 

Great class if you are looking to join the many genomics companies such as Grail, Genomic Health, Foundation Medicine, Illumina, Roche, Thermo, Qiagen, etc.
