  13:10-13:45pm
  A new era of next generation sequencing technology, from Panel Sequencing to Whole Genome Sequencing
  Genomics is a striking buzz word in today's scientific and business discussions. Even more amazing is the outreach it has already shown into the daily news and people’s personal lives, by changing the outcome of infectious pandemics, pregnancies, cancer therapies and helping new-borns and young children with inherited diseases to overcome previously unsurmountable hurdles in human history.
  
  With the genomics field evolving at light speed, innovation is key to keep this development alive. Illumina is constantly improving their products and widening the portfolio to give researchers and clinicians access to new information in a multitude of applications.
  
  It is crucial to stay updated on new releases and developments to achieve the best results in studies looking at genetic content and variation. Here we will discuss how cutting-edge research is driving single cell research, epigenetics and large-scale population studies, using next generation sequencing (NGS) and array technology, to discover new findings and therefore paving the way to change in how we will practice medicine in the future.
  
  Illumina is playing a crucial role in this transformation being the market leader and following a single vision: To improve human health by unlocking the power of the genome!

  Bioinformatics - An Overview to Data Management and Analysis Options on BaseSpace Sequence Hub
  This workshop will overview the key features and functionality of the BaseSpace Sequence Hub. We will discuss the use of BaseSpace Sequence Hub for sequencing run and data management. During the workshop, there will be hands-on user experience focusing on where to find sequencing data information, how to share data with colleagues and collaborators, as well as managing sequencing run and analysis data. We will also guide users to perform data analysis using the BaseSpace Apps, followed by visualization of the results to draw biological meaning.

  
  

  Yue Ying Tan(Sr Bioinformatics Scientist, South Asia Pacific)
  Yue Ying has been with Illumina since August 2012 where she joined us from The Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Singapore. During this time, she has accumulated a long laundry list of achievements in both pre- and post-sales support of bioinformatics within APAC, most notably the customer solutions excellence award and nominations (2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017). Yue Ying is now a proof-of-concept data analysis veteran, having worked on successful pre-sales projects in bacteria whole genome sequencing, forensics, metagenomics, mitochondrial analysis and viral detection to name a few. Yue Ying also leads the interactions with our sales channel partners on all things bioinformatics and has been piloting a number of initiatives to upskill our customers in the region.
