genome-era, identification of single gene variants associated with hereditary
cancers and advances in sequencing technology have enabled the use of a
National Workshop
on
whole-genome approach to examine the differences between the genomes,
and epigenetic regulation of tumor and patient DNA. The data generated thus
finds implications in biotechnological research. This workshop will include
lectures, demonstrations and hands-on experience to faculty members from
Colleges , Ph.D students, Post-doctoral fellows. The workshop will aim to keep
the participants up-to-date with the rapidly progressing area of cancer genomics techniques and analysis.
