ESF Next Generation Sequencing Meeting

Date:

29 Aug 2010 to 01 Sep 2010

Location:

Leiden, The Netherlands

Next generation sequencing technologies enable de novo and re-sequencing of DNA, transcriptome sequencing, tag-based sequencing, and metagenomics sequencing. Recent results show applications emerging in evolution, environmental, forensics and archeology. While the second-generation technologies are being further improved, third-generation sequencing is already becoming available and utilized by pioneer researchers.

The meeting aims at bringing together experts in the field to present their technological and scientific advances. Invited speakers and talks selected from abstracts will feature in sessions on evolution, transcription, personalized genomes, diagnostics, bioinformatics, and new sequencing technologies. The meeting starts with hands-on computer practicals including 1000 Genome Browser and a pipeline from reads to report files. Young researchers are invited to join a special program.

Keynote speakers:
Chris Tyler-Smith, Mike Wilson, Eske Willerslev, Matthias Harbers, Barbara Wold, Edwin Cuppen, Sacha van Hijum, Joris Veltman, Debbie Nickerson, Ewan Birney, Guy Cochrane, Ivo Gut, Ruiqiang Li, Jeantine Lunshof and Evan Eichler.
