Biodiversity Genomics Europe + SciLifeLab Digital Hi-C Course - Self Paced
Date: 31 December 2025
Language of instruction: English
Application Deadline: No date given
With the collaboration of five research institutes, two industry partners, and many Universities, three streams of the HiC technique were filmed in 2024 onsite at BMC Uppsala. These have been digitized and are now available as a digital course, openly available to all.
Aim
The aim of this course is to deliver an open, sustainable training in laboratory preparation of Hi-C libraries for reference genome sequencing of non-model organisms for BGE partner sequencing centers.
Course contents
- In the Introductory stream, researchers with no previous experience of the HiC technique are guided in performing the Arima HiC protocol for the first time.
- In the Challenging Samples stream, Hi-C experts contribute specialized knowledge and experience while performing the Arima HiC protocol on challenging samples.
- In the AssemblyLink stream, researchers with previous experience in the Hi-C technique perform and troubleshoot a variety of samples with the AssemblyLink protocol.
