Training Courses: Intro to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Our training courses provide an overview of NGS. You’ll learn about sequencing workflows, sample prep, data analysis, and more.

These courses are currently only offered in Europe. To explore other training opportunities, visit the Illumina training page.

Overview

Interested in learning more about next-generation sequencing technology and how you can use it in your research? Our training classes are a great way for beginners to learn about how NGS works, key differences compared to Sanger sequencing and other technologies, NGS workflow steps, and how to analyze your data.

To ensure you get the most out of the course material, we offer introductory classes tailored to various specialties and areas of interest.

Intro to NGS: DNA

In this class, you’ll learn about NGS technology and each step of a sequencing workflow. We’ll go over considerations for experimental design, how to choose a sample preparation method and sequencer, and important things to consider during data analysis.

Intro to NGS: RNA

Learn about NGS technology and each step of a sequencing workflow, with a focus on RNA. We’ll go over considerations for experimental design, how to choose a sample preparation method and sequencer, and important things to consider during data analysis.

Intro to NGS: Pathology

With NGS technology, pathologists can evaluate vast amounts of tissue data in great detail while saving time, tissue samples, and cost. This training course provides an overview of NGS technology, workflow steps, and data analysis with a focus on pathology applications.

Intro to NGS: Microbiologists

In this class, microbiologists will learn about NGS technology and the advantages of NGS applications, with a focus on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and 16S. We’ll go over considerations for experimental design, how to choose a sample preparation method and sequencer, and important things to consider during data analysis.

Intro to Data Analysis: Germline DNA

Your new instrument is installed, your library is ready, and you have started to produce some sequencing data…but what does it all mean? If you’d like to learn more about sequencing data analysis using the example of a DNA analysis workflow, this training is for you. You’ll learn the basics of data analysis workflows, how to generate, evaluate, and manipulate FASTQ files, how to troubleshoot, and much more.

Each class consists of (3) 3.5 hr. online sessions offered over the course of 3 days (total 10.5 hrs.). All sessions are highly interactive with demos and hands-on activities.
