NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING APPLICATIONS FOR INDUSTRY<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has taken the Front Stage as a tool to understand the environment around us. It is being used globally to track outbreak strains of bacteria, monitor microbial communities and understand changes in populations of organisms based on temporal and forced stimuli. NGS is more complex than past methodologies (such as PFGE) and has more components that need to be understood. What IS NGS? What is the science behind the technology? What do the data mean? This workshop seeks to shed light on NGS so that the student will have a more holistic view of the applications of NGS. We will provide sessions on technology, data analysis and data interpretation that are commonly used by industry and the FDA. Finally, we will also learn about some available open source tools for data analysis that may be implemented upon return from the workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Who should attend?<\/span><\/h3>\n

QA\/QC Managers, Research Scientists, Plant Managers, Developers of Food Safety Products, Risk Managers
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Expected outcomes<\/span><\/h3>\n

The student will gain an understanding of what NGS is and some applications for use in their supply chain that will help mitigate risk of foodborne illness.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
