      Yes. This is an in-person, hands-on training course.
      Might be worth the travel, considering the topics to be covered and the potential to establish professional relationships (with the instructors from NIH and with the other participants) during the training. We usually have participants not only from NIH institutes, but also from across the country and even from outside the country.

          Unfortunately not. The fee does not include the stay (hotel+food). You can check with FAES@NIH (contact info available at the registratio page) to see if they have any options to provide you with any special rate, especially since you would be attending with your own cost.

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
