  • StatSeq meeting on RNA-Seq; European Science Foundation – COST action

    Workshop on RNA-Seq &
    Strategy Session on Joint grant proposals



    The ESF ‘StatSeq’ COST action on the statistical challenges from next-generation sequencing organizes a meeting in Vienna including a workhop on RNA-Seq (24 and 25 March) and a strategy session for identifying opportunities for collaboration and applications for joint funding (26 March).


    You are cordially invited!

    Please visit the meeting pages at www.bioinf.boku.ac.at/statseq !

    The Call for contributed talks and posters is currently open!


    Workshop focus and topics for Discussion:

    What have we learnt from applying RNA-Seq to complex tissues / organisms with rich transcriptomes such as mammals or plants?


    * Novel biological insights
    * Current experimental challenges
    * Recent advances in computational analysis (processing, identifying biologically relevant signals, statistics, ...)
    * Current computational challenges


    What have we learnt from calibrating and validating RNA-Seq?

    * Recent methodological advances
    * Benchmarks and comparisons (variant protocols or relative to other technologies)
    * Current methodological challenges
    * Recent advances in computational analysis (processing, bias removal, calibration, ...)
    * Current computational challenges



    Currently confirmed keynote speakers:

    José Jiménéz-Gomez, Max-Planck-Institute Köln

    José has been an early adopter of RNA-Seq for the study of polymorphisms and expression profiles in tomato and its wild relatives. His research group is interested in the natural variation, evolution, and domestication of plants.


    Hannes Ponstingl, The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge

    Hannes has been responsible for the development of modern algorithms for read mapping like SMALT and SSAHA2, that form the foundation of RNA-Seq.


    Micha Sammeth, Centre Nacional d'Anàlisi Genòmica, Barcelona

    In the Flux Project, Micha has developed an approach for capturing the individual steps of the complete RNA-Seq process. This allows to model the impact of each step on measurement characteristics.


    Organization
    Programm committee: WG1 members of the COST action Management Committee
    Session chairs: David Kreil & Petri Auvinen
    Local organizers: Paweł Łabaj, Smriti Shridhar

    Registrations and reimbursements will be handled by the office of Marco Bink.

      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...
