The Explain Podcast hosts are bioinformatician Daniel and scientific coordinator Iuliia. We aim to EXPLAIN key next generation sequencing techniques and how these techniques contribute to our everyday life.The Podcast Explain is for everyone interested in DNA/RNA sequencing or technology in general. As Iuliia doesn't have a solid background in sequencing, she keeps asking "simple" - even silly at times - questions and Daniel gives his best to make us understand. Since 2018, West German...
