Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methods are revolutionizing genomic and functional genomics research. However, the manipulation and interpretation of the millions of sequences produced by a typical experiment still present significant computational challenges.
To provide an up-to-date overview of the latest applications of ultra-high throughput sequencing platforms and data analysis strategies for genomic sequencing, transcriptome analysis, ChIP-Seq, Metagenomics and others, we have organized the second edition of the Bari NGS international workshop.
Topics:
- Strategies for mapping NGS reads to reference sequences
- Genome de novo sequencing, re-sequencing, and assembly
- SNP discovery, RNA editing and genome methylation
- RNA-Seq analysis for estimating expression profiles and alternative splicing pattern
- Small RNA discovery and characterization
- Chip-seq data analysis
- Metagenomics
The Workshop will include keynote lectures, oral presentations of selected abstracts and a poster session.
Workshop Venue
Salone degli Affreschi - University of Bari, Palazzo Ateneo, Piazza Umberto I, Bari (IT)
Key Dates
Abstract submission deadline: September 19, 2010
Notification of Abstract acceptance for oral presentation: September 26, 2010
Registration deadline: September 22, 2010
SWAT4LS is a workshop that provides a venue to present and discuss benefits and limits of the adoption of Web based information systems and semantic technologies in biomedical informatics and computational biology.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. Standards, Technologies, Tools for the Semantic Web
- Semantic Web standards and new proposals (RDF, OWL, SKOS, Linked Data, ... )
- Biomedical Ontologies and related tools
- Alternative approaches to integrate semantic representations and web based solutions
- Formal approaches to large biomedical knowledge bases
2. Systems for a Semantic Web for Bioinformatics
- RDF stores, Reasoners, query and visualization systems for life sciences
- Semantic biomedical Web Services
- Semantics aware Biological Data Integration Systems
3. Existing and prospective applications of the Semantic Web for Bioinformatics
- Semantics aware application tools
- Semantic collaborative research environments
- Case studies, use cases, and scenarios
