Teaser
The Explain Podcast hosts are Daniel Rickert (bioinformatician) and Iuliia Novoselova (physicist & communication trainer).
We aim to EXPLAIN key 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. We record without script: crisp energy awaits you!
Since 2018, West German Genome Center (WGGC) operates as the joint 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.
