    PacBio SMRT Informatics Developers Conference – August 26

    Hi all,

    PacBio will be having a full-day, collaborative conference focused on developing and improving data analysis tools for SMRT Sequencing technology.

    SMRT Informatics Developers Conference
    Date: August 26, 2015
    Where: Gaithersburg, MD – NIST campus - the day prior to the Genome in a Bottle
    Registration: http://programs.pacificbiosciences.c...5-06-01/39vxm3

    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!

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.


    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

    From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
    by SEQadmin2


    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.
