UK Genome Science Meeting 2013: Sept 2nd - 4th @ Nottingham

[MartinB]

Following the success of the last three years' UK Next Gen Sequencing meetings at Nottingham, the newly named UK Genome Science meeting aims to bring together experts from around the world to meet and discuss the current and future state of all aspects and applications of Next Generation Sequencing.

We also aim to ensure that delegates are able to take advantage of friendly and relaxed networking to discuss concerns and difficulties that result from the complex nature of NGS based work. With broad ranging topics we aim to cover the technical challenges faced by those who work to generate and analyse NGS data, and also to share experiences amongst biologists and bioinformaticians who have the unenviable task of unravelling the biological meaning behind these huge datasets.

Information & Registration:
For frequently updated information and to register for the meeting please visit the DeepSeq events webpage
