NGS - Technologies & Future Applications - 2012
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 May 2012 12:28 Written by Jackie Howard Monday, 23 January 2012 16:17
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Every month technological barriers are broken in the field of sequencing and several benefits derive from these new achievements. Amongst these, the availability of inexpensive and accessible technology for use in a variety of biology/health care research areas, as well as in environmental, safety and legal domains, is notable. There remain challenges to be solved, however, such as the management, the interpretation and beneficial use of the produced data. Nonetheless these new breakthroughs provide a clear path forward to sequencing paradigms that will make a huge impact even in everyday life.
This meeting aims to bring together worldwide experts in the field, with a particular focus on future technologies and applications. The talks will combine provider updates on coming improvements as well as presentations from scientific experts on recent discoveries and applications.
