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 Genome Center (WGGC) operates as the next generation sequencing facility and supports research in genomics&transcriptomics by providing expertise and sequencing services. WGGC is a part of the Next Generation Sequencing Competence Network (NGS-CN) - network of NGS core facilities in Germany.Listen to our podcast and we're happy to receive your feedback&questions via Email ( podcast[dot]explain[at]gmail[dot]com ). The Explain Podcast is recorded at the Medienlabor at Heinrich-Heine University of Düsseldorf. Our podcast is an outreach activity within the national genomics facility "West German Genome Center" funded by DFG (No. 407493903).
