Old guy weighing in
Just discovered this forum from a news item in GenomeWeb. I run a group in Switzerland using GA II and 454 data to analyze genomes and transcriptomes from melanomas. I am now at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, hoping to make NCSA resources and expertise available to the "next-gen" sequencing community.
I have done quite a bit of high-throughput transcriptome sequence analysis (particularly on the Brazilian ORESTES ESTs and on MPSS data) and been interested for a long time in mapping and assembly problems. I do not code myself, so please do not ask me about how to tweak a Perl script!
However, I am interested in hearing from anyone who has a BIG problem that is proving intractable (or very difficult) using existing hardware/software platforms. Maybe we can work together.
Looking forward to meeting people on this forum!
Cheers,
Victor J.
