We will start with experimental design, focusing on the hands-on library preparation (including best practices, standards, and potential pitfalls), concluding with sequencing of libraries, bioinformatic evaluation &amp; best practice. For this purpose we will use, for the first time ever in the settings of the practical course, the cutting-edge sequencing platform AVITI (https:\/\/www.elementbiosciences.com\/products\/aviti), which was developed by Element Biosciences and is currently entering the next-gen sequencing (NGS) field. An evaluation of the technology in conjunction with the newly developed library preparation reagents by New England Biolabs (NEB) will be important for the scientific community and course participants to assist their decision if to adopt the new sequencing technology. The course will cover a complete workflow, such as library preparation and sequencing. The course participants will also learn about its tips and tricks and will also use bioinformatics tools required for data processing, quality control and initial data analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beside the practical exercises, lectures and discussion sessions, the course will offer the opportunity to learn more about transferring the knowledge gained during the course to the home institute of the participants as well as the implementation of this new technology into the environment of genomics core facilities. During the course participants will prepare two types of NGS libraries, gDNA-Seq and mRNA-Seq. We offer the opportunity to provide a maximum of 2 samples. Those samples must be shipped to Heidelberg prior to the course and must meet quality criteria of EMBL GeneCore. Generated libraries will be used for shallow sequencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is directed towards wet-lab molecular biologists, scientists and technicians who want to assess and use the AVITI technology. A focus will be on applicants from member states and their genomics core facilities. This audience can best disseminate the knowledge gained during the course and serve scientists at their home institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules\/resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Presentation of the latest state-of-the-art sequencing technology (Element Biosciences, the AVITI system)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hands-on training on genomic library preparation with upcoming state-of-the-art reagents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Setting up an AVITI sequencing run<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basics in data handling and analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The NGS field is entering a new phase of sequencing platforms available to the community and for their various applications. One crucial eplatform is the Aviti sytem by Element Bioscinces. During the course, its participants will: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>be exposed to the cutting-edge sequencing technology <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>learn to apply novel NEBNext NGS library preparation reagents and protocols <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>learn about the benefits and bottlenecks of different systems <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>be provided with guidance on the implementation of sequencing technologies into the core facility environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about this course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI truly recommend this course to anyone interested in RNASeq. We were pushed to go below the limits of RNA input to construct libraries and it was an exciting challenge. The spirit of science &#8220;go beyond our limits&#8221; was present through all of the course. The knowledge sharing environment with all the participants, trainers, and speakers, made this one of the best courses I have ever attended.\u201d&nbsp;\u2013<\/em>&nbsp;Anna Sofia Varanda, University
