Webinar of the Month

Configuring SNP detection pipelines for accurate analysis of clinical samples

By Dr. Vamsi Veeramachaneni

Vice President - Bioinformatics, Strand Life Sciences

Running a SNP detection pipeline and identifying high quality variant calls quickly is challenging. This is especially true in the case of clinical labs where multiple panels are used and kit-specific biases can result in false positive SNP predictions. In this webinar, we show how one can use the powerful visualization features of Avadis NGS to quickly detect false positive SNP predictions, identify the cause of the errors, and fine-tune the detection pipeline for accurate analysis

WiB Quarterly Meeting

Dear all

Its time that we meet again. Please be informed that the WiB quarterly and the first meeting for the year would be held on Saturday, 08th March 2014, 2:00-3:00 PM IST at Skype. The main objectives of the meeting is to review our performance in the previous year and discuss on further developments and improvements over our earlier performances. For the same reason, we would like to invite new proposals and suggestions from all our members.

Your presence would add strength to our cause, so please make it in time and we would appreciate if you could get along your friends and fellow colleagues to attend the meeting.

Any queries please write to mona@bioclues.org or reetasinghania@gmail.com

We await your participation.

Regards

Mona with Reeta,
