NGx

Agenda

*Agenda subject to change.
The NGx short-course will take place on the North Carolina Research Campus at Kannapolis City Hall from May 13-16, 2024.

Hands-on Group Sessions

Monday and Wednesday afternoons will feature hands-on workshops focused on achievable approaches. You will need to select one group when you register.

Group A – Practice-based session:

Learn the application of genetic concepts and common genetic variants and delve into occasional haplotypes for seamless integration into your clinical practice. You will review typical clinical case scenarios and equip you with the language and skills needed for effective communication in clinical practice.

Group B – Research-based session:

Learn to implement and experiment with statistical methods using your own computer and a dataset provided by the faculty. You’ll learn how to analyze and explore your own oral microbiome data. Attendees interested in this session are required to know the use of command-line interface.

 

*only for early registrants who are US residents (ends March 1, 2024). All other registrants will receive a generic dataset for analysis.
