Beyond Sequencing

22 - 23 June 2010, San Francisco, United States

Introduction

Purchasing your next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform(s) was a major decision. Now that you have purchased a platform, how do you maximize the greatest potential for your investment? Realizing this potential requires efficient workflow strategies, careful experimental design, comprehensive targeted enrichment technologies, data analysis, management, and integration, in addition to maintaining your platform and people management all at maximum production. The central theme at Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Inaugural Beyond Sequencing: Strategies for Success is efficient use of your NGS platform. Sessions will focus on common bottlenecks, case studies, real-world experiences and solutions from experienced users. Additionally, two emerging applications for metagenomics and deep sequencing for cancer will be showcased, as well as the latest results in the 1,000 Genomes Project.
