Description
Next generation sequencing today plays a prominent role in cutting-edge scientific research in various branches of the life sciences. NGS technologies have already proven their usefulness in cancer research, developmental biology, hereditary diseases, identification of micro-organisms, crop protection research and much more. The UGent NGS Core aims to make next generation sequencing applications accessible to researchers inside and outside Ghent University.
