Genetic Sequencing and Testing

• Basic knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
• Understanding of the fundamentals of genetics

Audience

• Healthcare professional
• Healthcare worker

Genetic sequencing is the process of determining the precise sequence order of the four nucleotide bases – adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at healthcare professionals and workers who wish to learn intermediate to advanced-level knowledge of the different genetic sequencing and testing operations.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Learn and understand key concepts of genetics.
• Understand how genetic sequencing and testing operations work.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
