Rapid and Automated Building of a Human Genome from Aligned Short Reads presented by Richard Carter, Illumina, Inc.

Next-generation sequencing is revolutionizing our knowledge of the human and other genomes and is increasingly being used in new and unexpected areas. This meeting is intended to help the next-generation of scientists to extend the use and application of this exciting technology. If you are new to next-generation sequencing this meeting will be an excellent introduction to the current state of the art as well as an overview of new applications that may be applicable to your research. There...

Identification of genetic variants within specific regions of the human genome presented by David Craig, Targeted Genetics Corporation (TGen)

Bing Ren From ChIP-chip to ChIP-Seq: unraveling the second code of the human genome presented by Bing Ren, University of California, San Diego

Since the first metagenomics study was published 17 years ago, the ability to make ecological inferences has been limited by sequencing throughput and the ability to analyze the data. Yet, if the potential of metagenomics to help us decipher the structure and function of microbial ecosystems is to be realized, it is essential that our bioinformatics tools motivate our sequencing efforts. This is analogous to the bioinformatics advances that were made to accelerating the sequencing of the...
