  • FGED 2012 Toronto - Free Meeting on Data Standards and Sharing

    Dear Members of the SEQanswers community,

    In January of 2012 the Functional Genomics Data Society (FGED; http://fged.org) held a meeting focused on developing "Best practices for functional genomics data sharing and integration" and brought together a small group of people working on a variety of issues associated with sharing large genomic data. The meeting produced a great deal of discussion about the challenges in managing and analyzing ultra-high throughput sequencing data and the need to standardize the data and metadata. The issues raised in the discussion helped to shape the a document entitled "MINSEQE: Minimum Information about a high-throughput Nucleotide SeQuencing Experiment--a proposal for standards in functional genomic data reporting." (Available at http://fged.org/projects/minseqe/)
    At the meeting, we discussed the need to get together soon to continue our discussions and to map out better ways of sharing genomic data and ensuring reproducible research. I'd like to invite you to join us for that promised meeting on October 22 and 23 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We hope some of you will be able to participate in what we hope will be a very dynamic, user-driven meeting that will, once again, help to define the challenges and to move the field forward.

    Please check out the FGED meeting website at http://www.microarrays.ca/fged/ for more information and to register. I do hope that you will seriously consider joining us in Toronto.

    The registration page does state that the event is by invitation only so if you are interested please contact me directly at [email protected].

    Best regards,

    Neil Winegarden
    Head of Operations, OCI Genomics Centre
    FGED Board Member

    Hello,

    I have registered to attend this conference in Toronto. SEQanswers members world-wide thinking about standards development and who have comments, questions, etc can forward these to me by PM at this forum and I will be sure to include these at meeting discussions. Thanks.

      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...
