NGS course attracts clinicians and bioinformaticians An audience of 37 PhDs and researchers participated in the 2-day advanced NGS course "Genomic resequencing: variant detection and interpretation in a diagnostic context". The course attracted NGS users both from the bioinformatics field and from clinical geneticists who participated all together in lectures, workshops, hands-on software demonstrations and in a lively discussion about the roles of- and communication between bioinformaticians and geneticists.

DNA labs on the road visited more than 100.000 students The DNA labs of the NGI centres celebrate on April 17th the fact that they reached more than 100.000 high school students. DNA labs are on the road through the Netherlands to demonstrate in high schools the facts and fun of genomics techniques. NBIC is participating in this project with the DNA lab about bioinformatics. The education material is available online: http://www.bioinformaticsatschool.eu/
NBIC is first virtual organisation in SURFconext NBIC is connected to SURFconext as identity provider. Before, only institutions could connect to the collaboration infrastructure. NBIC is the first distributed (“virtual”) organisation that can serve as identity provider.

NMC and NBIC organize workshop on Software licensing Many software projects in the life sciences are written as "open source". But do we actually know what that means? Legal issues surrounding software are not the specialty of bioinformatics programmers, nor from their (biology-oriented) group leaders. It is, however, for both of these groups very important to have a basic understanding about software licensing. To inform as many people as possible, NBIC and NMC together are organizing a one day workshop on Software licensing and valorization on May 25, in Utrecht.
