## Abstract

ABSTRACT – COURSE ON ADVANCED SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGIES &
APPLICATIONS
 The proposed Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory course on Advanced Sequencing
Technologies & Applications is to be held November 2018, 2019 and 2020. Over the last fifteen
years or more, large scale DNA sequencing has markedly impacted the practice of modern
biology and is beginning to affect the practice of medicine. With the recent introduction of
several advanced sequencing technologies, costs and timelines have been reduced by orders
of magnitude, facilitating investigators to conceptualize and perform sequencing-based projects
that heretofore were prohibitive. Furthermore, the application of these technologies to answer
questions previously not experimentally approachable is broadening their impact and
application. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is proposing to continue offering an advanced two
week course entitled Advanced Sequencing Technologies & Applications, to be offered annually
each fall in purpose-built teaching facilities at the Laboratory. Applications are anticipated from a
diversity of scientific backgrounds including molecular evolution, development, neuroscience,
cancer, plant biology and microbiology. Students will be instructed in the detailed operation of
several revolutionary sequencing platforms, including sample preparation procedures, general
data handling through pipelines, and in-depth data analysis. A diverse range of biological
questions will be explored including DNA re-sequencing of human genomic regions, de novo
DNA sequencing of bacterial genomes, and the use of these technologies in studying small
RNAs, among others. Guest lecturers contribute to the course and are encouraged to highlight
their own applications of these revolutionary technologies. This Cold Spring Harbor annual short
course offer specialized training in a residential setting that immediately impacts the progress of
the trainees' research. The course also promotes collaboration and exchange of ideas between
faculty and trainees, and thus represents a significant and valuable investment towards
accelerating genome research by educating select cadres of researchers in the latest methods
and concepts in these disciplines. The course has a proven track record of training investigators
who go on to successful careers in science.
