Training room

What will you learn?

During our Basic Training Workshop – which consist of two days – you will learn BioNumerics’ main features and how it works from a beginner’s point of view. By the end of the workshop you should have a good overview of all the possibilities BioNumerics has to offer through numerous hands-on demos and exercises. Special attention will be given to the preprocessing and analysis of various kinds of electrophoresis fingerprints from gels and sequencers, as well as sequence or pattern-based techniques such as MLST, VNTR (MLVA), spa typing, etc. Next to traditional typing, this workshop also covers the principles of BioNumerics’ NGS analysis, including de novo assembly, mapping, whole genome MLST and SNP analysis.
