CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The impact of DNA sequencing has touched most research laboratories across the world, either as part of historical landmarks such as the human genome project or simply through the use of what have become routine sequence analysis procedures. As a consequence, many successful efforts have been put in place to both improve the quality and decrease the cost of traditional DNA sequencing. Recently, some radically different approaches have been developed and introduced to the market. These new technologies herald the era of Next Generation DNA Sequencing and move us towards increasingly cost effective whole genome sequences and the benefits that will bring to a wide variety of applications.
This meeting will offer insights into the field of Next Generation DNA sequencing through presentations highlighting both the new technologies and their applications. Speakers from industry and academia will discuss their approaches in this emerging area which is certain to play a central role in a broad variety of fields including life science research, molecular diagnostics, biomarker discovery and forensic DNA testing.
