International Workshop
ALGORITHMICS, BIOINFORMATICS AND STATISTICS FOR NGS DATA ANALYSIS

June 22-23, 2015
Paris, Curie Institute

———————————————————————————————————————

We invite you to participate in the International interdisciplinary Workshop "Algorithmics, Bioinformatics and Statistics for NGS Data Analysis" organized by the ABS4NGS consortium (https://sites.google.com/site/abs4ngs/).

** SCOPE AND FORMAT **

The two-day workshop will feature a series of talks covering both methodological issues of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data analysis and biological questions that can be answered through the analysis of high throughput sequencing datasets. Topics will include

• Methodology of read mapping, assembly and automatic strategies for read error correction,
• Variant calling and clinical applications of NGS,
• High Throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture analysis, domain detection and inferring the three-dimensional structure of the genome,
• Transcriptome assembly, isoform quantification and annotation of abnormal transcripts in cancer datasets,
• Strategies for ChIP-seq data analysis and their application for prediction of epigenetic regulation.

The program will contain talks both by international invited speakers and by members of the ABS4NGS consortium. We expect the Workshop to provide an opportunity to discuss the state of the art of NGS analysis and applications.

** INVITED SPEAKERS **

Confirmed invited speakers:

• Michael Brudno (Associate Professor & Canada Research Chair in Computational Biology, University of Toronto)
• Jean-Jacques Codani (CEO, Biofacet)
• Sandrine Dudoit (Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics, University of California, Berkeley)
• Ivo Gut (Director Centre Nacional d'Anàlisi Genòmica – CNAG)
• Jean-Baptiste Veyrieras (Head of Data and Knowledge Lab Biomérieux, Lyon)

More invited speakers will be announced later. The final program will be available at the conference website.

** POSTER SUBMISSION **

We invite authors to submit posters that will be displayed during the workshop and will provide an additional opportunity for discussions on already published or ongoing works.
