I'm biased (being affiliated with CHI) but the Next-Gen Sequencing meetings are among the best attended, fastest growing events. Yes, there's a strong presence of commercial technology suppliers, but most of the audience likes that -- at least for this topic. With the exception of AGBT, this is one of the best places to get information and network.Kevin Davies

"commercial" nature of the conference is a great feature. For example, in this conference we discovered a new startup which invented technology to perform next gen sequence alignment 100 times faster than any other solution. We don't have the budget for big cluster like some of you big time genome centers. With these guys' tool, we do alignment on one computer, and it cuts our total sample sequencing time by a day. Its nice to hear academics talking about their wonderful science (fiction), but we go to this conference to also pick up the latest technology "real solutions", and for that we need "commercial" vendors. Unfortunately Next Gen sequencing is not main stream enough that we can get the best tools automatically from Microsoft and Intel... no , we rely on small innovative start ups (often formed by professors !!) and the only way we find out about them is these "commercial" shows.

I agree that great collaboration must exist between commercial and academic initiatives. It just sometimes, highly commercial talks just end up being advertisement without much discussion of method/development. I think there are a proliferation of open source efforts within the next generation markets which allows for all players to be involved.

Small Group Gathering regarding aligners
Hello,
I will be attending the CHI conf in San Diego and for the ones that are interested in aligners I would like to propose a small group discussion in between talks.
Date and time will be determined soon. Will anyone be interested on getting together to share ideas re the storm of aligners and the short read headache we all tend to deal with?

Conference update.
Interesting Panel discussion today.
A representative from Illumina, Roche, Solid and Helicos were all side by side answering questions from the audience.
The common problem was scalability. All four are working on trying to use a little sample as possible (well as Helicos) and make easier to run more samples. Gel/PCR free protocols are on the way.
Have not heard of a GAIII yet from Illumina. I did hear from the 1.4 pipeline.
It supposed to do a better job extracting intensities from images. So, do we save the images after all?

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...-

During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...-
