The ongoing development of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has meant that vast amounts of sequencing data is being produced, with researchers increasingly wanting the capability and knowledge to analyse their own data. Over the past 3 years BBASH has developed a number of 1, 2 and 3 day hands-on, NGS analysis workshops designed specificially to meet the needs of laboratory based researchers with little or no experience of NGS data analysis and command line tools. The workshops are held at the University of Leicester's state of the art College Court Conference Centre and consist of introductory presentations followed by practical sessions where delegates will gain hands-on experience of analysing and interpreting real data. The BBASH trainers are University of Leicester bioinformaticians or researchers with many years experience in bioinformatics and bioinformatics training, having delivered many workshops across the UK and Europe.
