The growth in genomic technologies and the advent of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has opened the doors to a wide range of applications. Although the opportunities are vast, a major bottleneck in applying these new technologies is in computational biology as the large amount of data generated from such high-throughput experiments becomes difficult to interpret using standard techniques.

These Workshops are intended for scientists interested in the processing and the interpretation of high-throughput "omics" data. The objective is to familiarize people with methods and tools to analyze and integrate large-scale data sets.
