First Annual Parallel Sequencing Genomics Meeting: Implementation and Computation for the Next Era of Genomics

In this new era of genomics resulting from the development of next generation sequencing, there are new issues in regards to applying these powerful technologies to basic and clinical research problems. These technologies introduce a new level of data complexity and depth which go beyond the level of data manipulation for all traditional sequencing technologies and microarray systems. As result, the genomics community needs new solutions to facilitate the analysis of these genomic data sets which will ultimately lead to major new discoveries.
