The workshop will focus on future developments in NGS and point out the success the technology has in modern biology research. 

 

The programme include 2 keynote lectures, selected oral presentations and presentations from industry and 
technology specialists such as SciLife, BGI, Pacific Biosciences, Ion Torrent and Applied Biosystems/SOLiD.

 

An extensive poster session will stimulate interaction and discussions. 

 

The submitters of the five best abstracts will be reimbursed for travel and accommodation (according to COST rules) and the two best abstracts will be selected for oral presentation. Abstract submission (http://www.nextgenerationsequencing.eu/abstract_submission)
