1. Co-assembly procedure with read mapping for estimation of the abundances of genes in each metagenome
2. Co-assembly of a large number of metagenomes via merging of individual metagenomes
3. Includes binning and bin checking, for retrieving individual genomes
4. The results are stored in a database, where they can be easily exported and shared, and can be inspected anywhere using a web interface.
5. Internal checks for the assembly and binning steps inform about the consistency of contigs and bins, allowing to spot potential chimeras.
6. Metatranscriptomic support via mapping of cDNA reads against reference metagenomes

Genetic testing requires screening of the entire gene, which by conventional sequencing is time consuming and expensive. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) based approaches increase the sensitivity of mutation detection, making it fast and cost-effective compared to the conventional tests performed in a reflex-testing mode. Strand NGS includes workflows with quality assessment and filter sections that do not require any manual intervention. Post-analytical workflows in Strand NGS allow users to execute sequence analysis with stringent filtering to eliminate false positive and low quality reads. This simplifies the analysis in large scale cohort settings, where every sample needs to be processed identically.

In this webinar we will discuss the implications of next generation sequencing based tests in multi-gene testing. We will also show how NGS based tests help to identify copy number variations, split read analysis and breakpoint identification. Finally, we will show a brief glimpse of Indian cohort data, where NGS based tests have shown improved mutation detection. In this webinar, we will present clinical case studies in on Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) and Retinoblastoma patients to demonstrate how CNV analysis in Strand NGS enables researchers to detect and visualize copy number changes ranging from single exon to full gene.

The next step after reading genetic code is writing a script to analyse and explore the hidden information. This tutorial is aimed to introduce you new biological programming languages with their packages/libraries, and assist in your scripting work.

1st Livestock Functional Genomics Summer School (LFG 2013).

This School was designed for graduate students and early-stage researchers with interest in livestock genomics, who are engaged in projects that require knowledge in the field of computational biology.

Sixty selected participants will spend 13 days receiving theoretical and practical training in genomic data handling from internationally renowned experts.

After the course, the participant should understand the basis and the context of livestock big molecular data, and be able to manipulate high density genotypes, whole genome sequences and transcriptome data.

The Summer School will be held in Araçatuba-SP Brazil, from the 13th to the 21st of September 2013.

All accepted participants will have *expenses fully covered (air ticket, hotel and meals)*, including a free pass to the 5th International Symposium on Animal Functional Genomics http://www.isafg2013.org.br

Applicants will be selected based on their résumés. Application date is due by August 10th. Results will be announced in August 12th.
