    AGBT Roundup / News Thread

    The big sequencing applications/technology conference (AGBT) is underway in Florida now, and there is quite a bit of electronic reporting activity going on.

    Probably the most up-to-date source is to be had from following the #AGBT hashtag on twitter. Interesting to get up-to-the-second coverage of talks.

    Also, Anthony Fejes is keeping his blog stuffed with his detailed notes from the talks.

    I will update this as I am able, but please feel free to post your news/opinions below!

    Been cut'n'pasting Twitter notes, RSS feeds and FF comments at http://www.fiamh.info/category/agbt-2010/. Certainly not complete, but maybe an easy way to catch up if you do not have the time to follow the full twitter onslaught.

      Nice work!

      Twitter was quite entertaining today. It was an exercise in self-restraint for me.

      Daniel MacArthur at GeneticFuture has a good roundup, in addition to Anthony's blog.

      edit: 500th post!

        Notes from day 3 are up. Not sure whether to be excited or just plain scared...

          My first thought: What will it to take to get a PHD? Characterize a gene, genome, 1000 genomes, ...?

          I am really excited about synergy of all the potential data!

            Seriously scary amounts of information on massive amounts of data
            Perhaps keeping twitter activity within a group will help, so created this twibe = http://www.twibes.com/ngs

              PacBio sounds like Helicos-2

                Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
                by SEQadmin2



                Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

                Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
                by SEQadmin2



                Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

                There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

                Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
                by GATTACAT
                Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
