  • PacBio SMRT Informatics Developers Conference – August 26

    Hi all,

    PacBio will be having a full-day, collaborative conference focused on developing and improving data analysis tools for SMRT Sequencing technology.

    SMRT Informatics Developers Conference
    Date: August 26, 2015
    Where: Gaithersburg, MD – NIST campus - the day prior to the Genome in a Bottle
    Registration: http://programs.pacificbiosciences.c...5-06-01/39vxm3

    The goal of the conference is to advance development of analytical tools for PacBio data by enabling in-person brainstorming and idea exchange among software developers and the bioinformatics community. Through facilitation of open discussion and collaboration, the event will nurture development of new and existing open source tools for de novo assembly, genome phasing, structural variations, methylation and Iso-Seq™ analysis.

    Keynote speaker:
    • Gene Myers, Ph.D., Founding Director, Systems Biology Center, Max Planck Institute

    De novo assembly:
    • Adam Phillippy, Ph.D., NBACC
    • Sergey Koren, Ph.D., NBACC
    • Mihai Pop, Ph.D., University of Maryland
    • Aleksey Zimin, Ph.D., University of Maryland
    • Jason Chin, Ph.D., Pacific Biosciences

    Structural Variations:
    • Ali Bashir, Ph.D., Mount Sinai School of Medicine
    • Adam English, Ph.D., Baylor College of Medicine
    • Mark Chaisson, Ph.D., University of Washington (tentative)

    Kinetic Data Analysis:
    • Shinichi Mori****a, Ph.D., University of Tokyo
    • David Alexander, Ph.D., Pacific Biosciences

    Isoform Analysis:
    • Kin Fai Au, Ph.D., University of Iowa
    • Thomas Skelly, MPhil (Cantab), Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer
    • Ana Conesa, Ph.D., University of Florida
    • David Tse, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley
    • Wing Wong, Ph.D., Stanford University

    Registration is now open. If you plan to attend, please book your accommodations soon. The Courtyard Marriott at Washingtonian Center has a block of rooms reserved for $154/room including breakfast and transport to/from NIST - availability is limited.
    We look forward to seeing you at this exciting event!

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
