ESF Next Generation Sequencing Meeting

"Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable high-throughput sequencing for a multitude of applications, including de novo sequencing, re-sequencing of (subsets of) genomic DNA, whole transcriptome sequencing, tag-based transcript sequencing, and metagenomics sequencing. There has been active research in these and other NGS applications resulting in a rapidly developing field. While the second-generation technologies are being further improved, third-generation sequencing is already becoming available and utilized by pioneer researchers. However, because of the rapid developments, many scientists, some just considering the use of NGS technology, have a need for information and sharing of experiences. Furthermore, recent results show applications emerging in fields that are not immediately obvious, including evolution, environmental, forensics and archeology.

We aim at bringing together the experts in the field to present their work and share their experiences with European researchers. This will accelerate the diffusion and exchange of information among European researchers, including those from regions where NGS is not yet being used."
