The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics is pleased to offer its second annual High-Throughput Sequencing Summer Short Course. This course will extend and expand upon the material from the inaugural 2015 course on proper procedures to ensure experimental and statistical validity. In addition to faculty and research staff from our department, this course will also now feature the expertise from the Duke Center for Genomic and Computational Biology. The target audience for the course is advanced undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, research staff and junior faculty in the STEM fields. The six-week course will be held from July 5 to August 11.
