Lab course: NGS Technologies,
Plant Omics and Data Analysis
11-20 October 2023 at the Higher Institute of Biotechnology of Sfax
This lab course aims to up-skill the Tunisian community in the use of NGS technologies and bioinformatics tools for the analysis of plant omics data. Focus has been made on genomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic data.
