Summer School in Bioinformatics & NGS Data Analysis (NGSchool2017) was held on 10-17 September 2017 in CBiES, Jachranka 81 k/Warszawy. In the course of one week, the participants attended the series of lectures and workshops, covering various aspects of computational biology, focusing on state-of-the-art techniques related to Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and its application in research, health-care and industry. In 2017, we focused on data analysis from single-cell technologies. As before, the course covered wide range of topics, selected by popularity among attendees.
