About the topic:
NGS technology is recently developed tool for transcriptome profiling that uses deep sequencing methods. It is considered to be most precise method of measurement of level of transcripts in a cell and their quantity.
The transcriptome is the complete set of transcripts in a cell, and their quantity, for a specific developmental stage or physiological condition. Understanding the transcriptome is essential for interpreting the functional elements of the genome and revealing the molecular constituents of cells and tissues, and also for understanding development and disease progression. It is today adopted by researchers across bioscience discipline to study and profile differential expression and use it for various purposes downstream.
This programme will be useful for students, research fellows and faculties from all bioscience and pharmaceutical background.
Importance of NGS Data Analysis in Bioscience Research
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) transcriptomics is relevant to multiple branches of life sciences, including genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and systems biology. It allows for comprehensive analysis of RNA transcripts, providing insights into gene expression, regulation, and function across various organisms. Applications include identifying disease biomarkers, understanding cellular responses, studying genetic variations, and developing personalized medicine. Additionally, it is instrumental in agricultural research for crop improvement and in environmental studies for assessing microbial communities and ecosystem health.
