Next Generation Sequencing & Epigenomics Workshop - Bari - Italy
Bari, 5-7 December 2012 The fourth edition of the Bari NGS workshop will be held within the context of the recently launched Epigenomics Flaship Project (http://www.epigen.it/) and will be therefore devoted to the applications of NGS data to Epigenomics.

The Workshop will be an occasion to present and discuss new ideas, results, as well as innovative statistical methods and algorithms to address challenges and problems of bioinformatics approaches in this field, that could be considered in future developments of the EPIGEN project.

Main topics include:
- ChIP-Seq for the study of chromatin structure and Transcription Factors interactions
- Methylome analysis
- RNA-Seq analysis for estimating expression profiles and alternative splicing pattern
- ncRNAs and epigenetic regulation
- Advances in high-throughput sequencing platforms, storage and retrieval of data
- Data integration and System Biology models

The workshop program includes:
4 keynote lectures, selected oral presentations, a poster session and a round table focused on training in Bioinformatics.
