Education

Tutorial Day 2010:

All slides from the talks and tutorials from the FGCZ Tutorial Day 2010

Fall 2012 lectures:

Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Microarray and Short-Read Sequencing Data

Next Generation Sequencing – a practical course on technologies, applications, and data analysis.

FGCZ NGS Education Facility offers a four-day course with hands-on practicals. Through a series of lectures on NGS technologies, their applications and data analysis, participants will learn the principles and operations of all currently available NGS platforms.

There are following NGS courses available:

• for Master students organized during semester break:
  Modul: BIO 393 Next Generation Sequencing – a practical course

• for PhD students accepted into one of the PhD programs of the Life Science Zurich Graduate School:
  Modul: BIO680 Life Sciences: Next Generation Sequencing - a practical course

• course open to anyone interested in the subject of NGS.
  The available dates for this course will be announced directly on the FGCZ Education website

General Information

We provide Education and Training in three ways:

• Entry Level:
  Lectures, seminars, colloquia
• Advanced Level:
  Group seminars on specific technologies, experimental platforms, data analysis strategies and tools
• Entry to Expert Level:
  Individual training for registered users that work on approved projects at the FGCZ

The FGCZ actively participates in various teaching courses and colloquia of ETH and University of Zurich. The lectures and seminars are mainly focused on technologies and applications in functional genomics and are generally thought for an audience of higher-level students, PhD-students and postdocs.

In addition to introductory lectures, more advanced technical and practical courses are offered in the areas of:

• Transcriptomics Technology
• Proteomics Technology
• Bioinformatics for the Analysis of Functional Genomics Data

The courses are published via e-mail to subscribers of the FGCZ mailing list as well as on the FGCZ web page. Courses offered to a limited number of participants require e-mail registration.

On the most advanced level and with the option of individual teaching and training being provided, all approved projects at the FGCZ receive full training support on the technologies and applications needed for successful realization of the experiments.
Training Courses in Gene Expression Analysis

Introductory courses to gene expression analysis are given on demand, typically on a bimonthly basis. The courses discuss the general issues in gene expression analysis and show how to perform an analysis using FGCZ software. In particular, the use of the Rosetta Resolver and Agilent GeneSpring applications is practiced.

Upcoming courses will be announced on the main page of the FGCZ website and Intranet.
