Virtual Genomics Core outreach: Biological and Bioengineering Sciences

The Genomics Core Leuven is reaching out to inform researchers on how their projects can benefit from novel NGS techniques. We are a KU Leuven Core facility enabling Next-Generation sequencing for everybody. This workshop’s topic will focus on NGS overview and metagenomics (from concepts to applications in life sciences).
