[ensembl-dev] Fwd: Fwd: NGS 2016 - Genome Annotation Conference - Barcelona - April 4-6 - 2016

[Emily Perry]

Dear Colleague,


We invite submission to the 2016 Next Generation Sequencing – Barcelona 
Conference (NGS–Barcelona), April 4-6 in Barcelona, Spain. Hosted by the 
International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and the Centre 
for Genomic Regulation (CRG), this year’s edition will be dedicated to 
Genome Annotation.


More details are available from: https://www.iscb.org/ngs2016

This dedicated meeting on cutting-edge approaches to the processing and 
analysis of Genome Annotation methods will bring together bioinformatics 
researchers involved in the development of genome annotation methods, 
along with biologists interested in the establishment and annotation of 
new reference genomes. The conference will address a wide range of 
issues including RNASeq-based genome annotation, non-coding RNA 
analysis, proteomics data integration and data visualization. Sizeable 
space will be dedicated to emerging and future trends in genomics 
including eco-system analysis and novel reference genomes.

Topics include:

·State of the art technologies, and technologies under development

·Novel software and algorithms

·Novel applications of NGS technologies in genomics and biology

·Post genome sequencing analysis, including RNA analysis, transcription 
factor binding sites profiling, histone modifications, nucleosome 
positioning, copy number variation, genotyping, RNA structure, dynamics 
of transcription and translation, etc.

·Research breakthroughs based on exhaustive applications of NGS

·Clinical and translational applications

·Applications to agriculture and biotechnology

·Novel Reference genomes

The conference will also aim to encompass the associated computational 
challenges:

·Novel algorithms, methods and pipelines

·Comparative benchmarks of methods

·New visualisation software for NGS

We welcome original research submissions and previously published 
research for oral presentation, as well as Poster abstracts. Plan to 
submit your research (http://www.iscb.org/ngs2016-submissions) to this 
engaging conference! Abstracts will be accepted through 18 January.

We hope to see you in Barcelona.

Sincerely,

Cédric Notredame, Centre for Genomic Regulation
