2012 Meeting Archive

The 2012 Meeting was held on June 5-7, 2012

Areas of emphasis at this meeting included:

Genome Sequencing:

• New sequencing technologies (454, illumina, SOLiD, Ion Torrent, MiSeq, PacBio, etc.)
• Draft sequencing strategies (prokaryotes, eukaryotes, metagenomics, single cell, etc.)
• De novo sequencing, re-sequencing, Human seq., RNA seq., metagenomics, etc.

Genome Assembly:

• Whole genome assemblers and integration of next generation data
• De novo assemblers for short reads, hybrid assemblers h
• 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
• Human Genomics and genome improvement
• 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
