Understanding the Technology

What Is NGS Data Analysis in Healthcare?

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has fundamentally transformed modern healthcare — enabling clinicians and researchers to sequence entire genomes, transcriptomes, and microbiomes faster and more affordably than ever before. The ability to analyze and interpret this sequencing data is now one of the most critical skills in clinical diagnostics, precision medicine, and biomedical research.

In healthcare, NGS is applied across four major areas: variant analysis for identifying disease-causing mutations in genetic disorders; RNA-Seq for understanding gene expression changes in cancer; metagenomics for characterizing microbial communities in clinical samples; and infectious disease genomics for identifying bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens — including antibiotic resistance profiling.

This workshop is the only program that delivers hands-on training across all four NGS healthcare applications in a single, structured 4-day course — taught by a clinical expert with direct patient care experience.


Workshop Dates

16 to 19 March, 2026. Live trainer will take online sessions from 8:30 PM - 10 PM India time +5:30 GMT on Zoom.


NGS Applications Covered in This Workshop

  • Variant Analysis — Genetic disease identification (WGS, Clinical Exome, Targeted Gene Panel)
  • RNA-Seq — Differential gene expression analysis in cancer research
  • Metagenomics — 16S rRNA species identification & phylogenetics
  • Infectious Disease — Bacterial, fungal & viral pathogen identification
  • Antibiotic Resistance Gene Identification from WGS data
  • Genome Annotation & Phylogenetic Tree Construction
  • Data Analysis using Galaxy Webserver & IGV Visualization

Why This Workshop Stands Apart

What makes this NGS healthcare workshop different from other bioinformatics courses? This is the only workshop that covers all four major NGS healthcare applications — variant analysis (WGS/exome/gene panel), RNA-Seq cancer gene expression, 16S rRNA metagenomics, and infectious disease WGS — in a single 4-day program. Additionally, the trainer Dr. Bharti has direct clinical experience with patients and real diagnostic data, giving the training a depth of healthcare context that purely academic instructors cannot provide.

Is this workshop suitable for pathologists and clinical lab professionals? Yes — this workshop is particularly relevant for pathologists, molecular diagnostics lab scientists, oncologists, infectious disease specialists, and clinical researchers. The curriculum is directly aligned with real clinical NGS applications: variant analysis for genetic disease, RNA-Seq for cancer profiling, and metagenomic pathogen identification from challenging clinical samples.

What specific tools and software will I learn? You will gain hands-on experience with the Galaxy Webserver (primary analysis platform), IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer for visualization), QC and preprocessing tools, variant calling pipelines, RNA-Seq differential expression tools, 16S rRNA metagenomics tools, and WGS-based pathogen genome assembly and annotation workflows. All tools run on your own computer — Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Will I analyze real human clinical data in this workshop? Yes. The workshop uses real healthcare-relevant sequencing datasets — genetic disease variant data (Day 2), cancer gene expression data (Day 3), and clinical infectious disease metagenome samples (Day 4). These are not simplified toy examples — they are the types of datasets you will encounter in real research and clinical laboratory environments.
