Sequencing, Finishing and Analysis in the Future Meeting 2010
(completed)

Areas emphasized at this conference included:

Genome Sequencing:

• New sequencing technologies (454, illumina, SOLiD, Helicos, Pacific Biosciences, etc.)
• Draft sequencing strategies (prokaryotes, eukaryotes, metagenomics, single cell, etc.)
• De novo sequencing, re-sequencing, RNA sequencing, metagenomics, etc.

Genome Assembly:

• Whole genome assemblers and integration of next generation data
• De novo assemblers for short reads, hybrid assemblers
• Recalling and calibrating genome assemblies
• Single cell and metagenomic assemblies

Genome Finishing:

• Finishing systems and pipelines (automated, manual, etc.)
• Next generation finishing tools and technologies
• Quality standards for new technologies and mixed data sets
• Single cell / cell sorting and metagenomic finishing

Genome Analysis:

• Genome annotation and pathway identification tools and pipelines
• Comparative genomics, re-sequencing, SNPs, structural variation
• Large scale data management, cloud computing
• Metagenomic analysis
