The gap between field samples and actual sequence ready for analysis is one that needs a really fast, data-intensive computers and some bit of coding - well not really. At KIBS dry labs we've invested in powerful ready-made solutions for researchers;

1. High performance computing power with ample storage for large datasets

2. Expert tutorials and curated workflows for biologists with domain experience but minimal programming background

3. A centralized portal for streamlined access to public repositories such as GenBank, RefSeq, SRA and others like UniProt and Ensembl.
Perfect solutions and applications in metagenomics, cancer genomics, pathogen genomics, metabolomics and reverse vaccinology among others.

With these, we've facilitated a number of research in metagenomics, bioinformatics, pathogen genomics and DNA sequencing.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been hailed as one of the most important advances in molecular biology and is an indispensable tool in biomedical research. The objective of this intensive 5-day hands-on PCR Boot Camp training is to impart transferrable skills on planning, setting-up, running and analysing PCR experiments.

Participants will be taken through principles of DNA replication, types and variants of PCR, applications, and PCR principles and workflows. They will learn how to design and synthesize primers, prepare samples, design PCR assays, set up software, report results, and apply PCR in DNA cloning for sequencing, functional gene analysis, disease diagnosis, paternity testing, and forensics. PCR Optimization and validation will also be taught. The course is right for any person who has an interest in starting to use PCR or current new users who want further training on Post-PCR Applications.
