Overview:
Next-generation sequencing technology is impacting almost all aspects of biomedical research. This technology generates an unprecedented wealth of data that demands novel analysis strategies. While IT infrastructure and bioinformatics developments are obviously required to enable sound information extraction, sophisticated statistical methodologies and algorithms are also essential for interpreting the data. In this regard, we are organizing a NHGRI funded two-day conference, calling statisticians, genetic epidemiologists, bioinformaticians, and genome biologists, to discuss the statistical challenges and opportunities in next-generation sequencing data analysis. We believe that this conference will provide a venue for exchanging of cutting-edge information and ideas, and fostering collaborations among methodologists, analysts, and biomedical investigators.
Women, members of underrepresented minority groups and individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to attend.
Posters/Short talks: The deadline for poster/short talk abstract submission deadline is August 14th. For short talk consideration, a description or CV of the presenter is also to be submitted. Short talk selection decisions will be made on August 21st, 2011.
