Next-Generation Sequencing
17th September 2012 — 18th September 2012

SMi’s Next-Generation Sequencing conference features a problem-solving approach to accelerate your research, product and clinical development.

Overview

SMi’s Next-Generation Sequencing conference focuses exclusively on the data interpretation and analytical challenges facing genomics and computational biology today. Whether working with microbial or human DNA, the latest developments to extract biological meaning from short-reads, oligonulceotide sequences or whole genome studies are showcased in this innovative conference.  Featuring experts from the EBI, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Merck, Pfizer and Janssen, join your peers at the forefront of translating genomics to targeted therapies.

Key topics covered include:

• Methods, interpretation and analysis for DNA and RNA sequences
• Applications to small molecule and peptide antibiotic drug discovery
• Data storage, compression and analysis
• Targeted re-sequencing and prognostic biomarker discovery for neuromuscular dystrophies
• Deep sequencing, shRNA maturation analysis and siRNA mode of action studies to elucidate antiviral targets
• Improved software techniques to aid antibody and vaccine development

Hear keynote addresses from:

• Benjamin Sidders, Principal Scientist, Bioinformatician, Pfizer
• Nicholas Murgolo, Fellow, Merck Research Laboratories
• Guy Cochrane, European Nucleotide Archive Team Leader, European Bioinformatics Institute
• John Marioni, Group Leader, European Bioinformatics Institute
