Intro to QC - 28 and 30/10/2025
There are 3 sequencing technologies that are heavily used for biological research; Illumina, PacBio, and ONT. These three technologies each have their own errors and biases. At the end of this course you will understand these error profiles, and be able to use command line tools to measure sequencing quality and conduct quality control.

Places are restricted to UK-based researchers and only 30 places are available so please only register if you intend on attending.

The workshop will be held over two days on Tuesday 28 and Thursday 30 October 2025, 10am-4pm, with registration opening 9.30am on Tuesday.

The deadline to register is Monday 13 October, 2 weeks before the course. You will hear later that week whether you have been invited and will need to confirm your attendance.
