Each month, we feature an update from a Study Group Lead. This month we hear from Bianca Peterson\u00a0(@binxiepeterson on Twitter), who manages a Genomics Study Group\u00a0at North-West University in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Study Group Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The North-West University Genomics Study Group is a community where we build NGS analysis capacity by sharing our knowledge and learning from each other, it’s co-managed by Bianca Peterson and Anelda van der Walt.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Current plans:<\/strong><\/div>\n
We are taking a break and planning to resume in April. One of the objectives is to get everyone involved by letting them teach us about a cool tool\/resources that they use for their research. Additionally, we want to make use of MOOCs to enhance our genomics knowledge and skills.<\/div>\n
