Oxford Global Conferences Ltd are proud to present the 3rd Annual Next Generation Sequencing Data Congress taking place on 15th & 16th June 2015 in London, UK.
The launch of Next Generation Sequencing technologies has radically changed the life science industry, opening up exciting opportunities never before imagined possible. The large and complex data generated from sequencing is challenging data analysis, storage and management tools beyond their current capabilities.
Agenda
In keeping with Oxford Global’s highly successful life sciences series, an expert panel of 40 speakers will present a full conference programme covering the topics outlined below. These topics have been compiled as a result of a comprehensive research process undertaken with expert advisory board members including Directors, Professors and Heads from leading research institutions.
Day 1
Over the two days, this exciting conference will bring together over 175 senior researches to debate the challenges associated with producing large, complex genomic datasets. On day one leading experts will provide an overview of innovative methods, technologies and platforms used to analyse genomic data. Our renowned researchers will discuss important updates in NGS data management including big data solutions, cloud-based data management systems and open source platforms.
Stream 1 – NGS Data Analysis: Methods, Technologies, Platforms
- Data analysis technologies for:
- RNA-seq
- DNA-seq
- ChIP-seq
- microRNA-seq
- Mapping & assembly of genome data
- Transcriptomics, epigenetics & genomics data analysis
Stream 2 – NGS Data Management: Handling & Storing Data
- Cloud-based data management systems
- NGS data archiving & storage solutions
- Big data solutions for handling NGS data
- Next-Gen dataflow infrastructure and pipelines
- Open source: tools, platforms & data management systems
Day 2
On day two hear our panel of experts discussing novel computational data methods, and tools for mapping high-throughput sequencing. Presentations will cover novel software for the integration and visualisation of complex data sets. Our esteemed experts will explore the application of NGS data tools in biomarkers, clinical development and diagnostics. Hear the critical strategies in overcoming data management challenges in metagenomics and various therapeutic areas.
