The book concludes with a chapter on the changing landscape of NGS technologies and data analytics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of this book builds on the well-received first edition by providing updates to each chapter. Two brand new chapters have been added to meet rising data analysis demands on single-cell RNA-seq and clinical sequencing. The increasing use of long-read sequencing has also been reflected in all NGS applications. This book discusses concepts and principles that underlie each analytic step, along with software tools for implementation. It highlights key features of the tools while omitting tedious details to provide an easy-to-follow guide for practitioners in life sciences, bioinformatics, biostatistics, and data science. Tools introduced in this book are open source and freely available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40892224864353,"sku":"9780367349899","price":121.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27716289.jpg?v=1760339927","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367349899-nextgeneration-sequencing-data-analysis","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
