Next Generation Sequencing Workshop - Second Edition

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods are revolutionizing genomic and functional genomics research. However, the manipulation and interpretation of the millions of sequences produced by a typical experiment still present significant computational challenges.  To provide an up-to-date overview of the latest applications of ultra-high throughput sequencing platforms and as well as the different NGS data analysis strategies for genomic sequencing, transcriptome analysis, ChIP-Seq, Metagenomics and others, we have organized the second edition of the Bari NGS international workshop.

*** Topics *** 
- Strategies for mapping NGS reads to reference sequences
- Genome de novo sequencing, re-sequencing, and assembly
- SNP discovery, RNA editing and genome methylation
- RNA-Seq analysis for estimating expression profiles and alternative splicing pattern
- Small RNA discovery and characterization
- Chip-seq data analysis
- Metagenomics

The Workshop will include keynote lectures, oral presentations of selected abstracts and a poster session. Workshop Venue Salone degli Affreschi - University of Bari, Palazzo Ateneo, Piazza Umberto I, Bari (IT)

*** Key Dates *** 
Abstract submission deadline: September 19, 2010
Notification of Abstract acceptance for oral presentation: September 26, 2010
Registration deadline: September 22, 2010
