NGS-CN Webinar: Introduction to consent and GHGA consent tools
Register: https://hhu.webex.com/hhu-en/j.php?RGID=r6862c94816b7b7242da7f3645bac049a
We welcome GHGA speakers!
Have you ever thought about:
* What does consent mean in research and medical settings?
* Why is it important and what are the challenges?
* How is consent given and are there tools that can help to set up consent forms?
* How can I check if consent given in an earlier study is compliant with ethical and legal requirements?
Come by & discuss with us!

Bio-Data Science Evening in DüsseldorfDr.rer.nat. Alexander Lang will share with us
“Multiple single cell sequencing methods
for multimodal characterization of cardiovascular disease”
and afterwards we will have an amazing opportunity for a “meet & greet” networking time – till 20:00!
Snacks and drinks will be provided to recharge after the long day.
Let’s meet in person, connect and develop new ideas together!
If there will be a wish – we will set up a soft-skills-corner to strengthen our weak spots (select topics of interest in the registration form).

NGS Webinar Series: “How long reads are revolutionizing Plant Genomics”, Prof. Björn Usadel (HHU Düsseldorf)The first webinar of the NGS-CN webinar series is held by Björn Usadel from HHU Düsseldorf on the topic “How long reads are revolutionizing Plant Genomics”. To register to this webinar write an email to our officer Dr. Melanie Sapp: melanie.sapp@hhu.de
Björn Usadel studied Biochemistry at the Free University Berlin and conducted his MSc research on Drosophila at the Rockefeller University. Upon returning to Germany in 2001, he conducted his PhD studies in the lab of Dr. Markus Pauly at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, Potsdam on identifying and characterizing novel cell wall genes using bioinformatics approaches.
After a postdoc and group leader position with Prof Mark Stitt at the same institute, he became full professor and director at RWTH Aachen University and the Forschungszentrum Center Jülich in 2011. Ín 2020 he moved to a joined position as Professor for Biological Data Science at Heinrich Heine University and Head of the Institute of Bioinformatics at Forschungszentrum Jülich. He has co-authored more than 150 publications and is an ISI highly cited researcher in Plant and Animal Sciences.

Extension of the high-throughput sequencing initiative
Senate decides to continue the network for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and thus further options for applying for sequencing costs in projects.
The Senate of the German Research Foundation (DFG) decided in its meeting on December 10, 2020, which was held as a video conference due to the coronavirus pandemic, to extend the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) initiative until 2023. In March 2018, four competence centers were set up in the network and a total of 93 projects were subsequently funded in the tendering rounds for “sequencing costs in projects”. link

Next Generation Sequencing Network (NGS-CN) workshop
A Virtual Second Workshop for the Next Generation Sequencing Network (NGS-CN). This event was co-organized by the Competence Centre for Genome Analysis Kiel (CCGA) and the Central Coordination Unit (CCU). This is a great workshop for scientists on the step of “How to get started” and “who to contact” for their sequencing projects. For more information and how to register click here.
