SNP Detection and NGS
Block seminar/proseminar covering SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) related topics including extracting SNPs from NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) data and using that information for prediction tasks (e.g. pathogenicity, treatment response).
Tutors: Valentina Galata, Sabine Müller
