Main Missions
- Create a knowledge sharing platform for bioinformaticians
- Provide easy-to-use NGS software and pipelines for lab scientists
- Build up a nation-wide expert team on Next Generation Sequencing that will serve life science at large
Recent Highlights
- On June 18th, 2013, a taskforce PI meeting was successfully held. Report can be found at the NBIC news site.
