VIT-TBI | Hands-on Workshop on NGS Data Analysis: Powered by GenXFlow™

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) generates vast amounts of data, but turning raw reads into biologically meaningful discoveries remains one of genomics' steepest learning curves.

The VIT-Technology Business Incubator (VITTBI) at Vellore Institute of Technology is hosting an intensive, practical workshop designed to bridge that gap: Hands-on Workshop on NGS Data Analysis: Powered by GenXFlow™. 

 

​Led by Dr. Karthik L, Founder of Arqgene, this program moves past abstract theory to give researchers, students, and professionals direct exposure to an end-to-end genomics pipeline.  

What is GenXFlow™?

​Developed by Arqgene, GenXFlow™ is an integrated genomics analysis platform built to streamline the entire NGS workflow. Rather than toggling between disjointed command-line utilities, users can handle raw data processing, quality control (QC), downstream analysis, and biological interpretation within a cohesive environment.
