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.
Key Highlights & Takeaways:
NGS Fundamentals:
In-depth coverage of core concepts, sequencing mechanics, and underlying computational principles.
Automated Analysis with GenXFlow™:
Hands-on exposure to navigating automated end-to-end pipelines from raw FASTQ files to processed variants and expression tables.
Biological Data Interpretation:
Guidance on translating raw data matrices into biologically meaningful discoveries and publishable figures.
Free Trial Access:
All participants receive a one-week free trial access to GenXFlow™ for independent research projects.
Hardware & System Requirements
Participants are required to bring their own systems configured to the following specifications to run the hands-on workflows smoothly:
Operating System:
Windows 10 or Windows 11
RAM:
16 GB minimum
Internal Storage:
At least 500 GB free internal disk space
