    Save the Date: SMRT Informatics Developers Conference – August 26

    Please save the date for a full-day, collaborative conference focused on developing and improving data analysis tools for SMRT Sequencing technology:

    SMRT Informatics Developers Conference
    August 26, 2015
    Gaithersburg, MD – NIST campus - the day prior to the Genome in a Bottle

    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!

      We're hoping it will be up by the end of the month, dependent on the NIST registration process. Will keep you posted when the registration is live!

          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.
