modENCODE project aims to provide the biological research community with a comprehensive encyclopedia of genomic functional elements in the model organisms C. elegans and D.melanogaster. Data Coordination Center for modENCODE is conducting a series of webinars with the next one, "Understanding worm and fly chromatin modification data", scheduled on Thursday Dec 1, 12:00 EST (Eastern US time). This online webinar will introduce participants to the data obtained in experimental studies of various histone modification marks and chromatin binding proteins, also showing how to visualize and download these data from the modENCODE web site/FTP. Space is limited so advance registration is necessary. Please email [email protected] to reserve your spot. More details and the schedule are at http://wiki.modencode.org/project/in...ility_webinars

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
