Registration is now open for our SMRT® Informatics Developers Conference on September 14, 2016 in Gaithersburg, MD. This collaborative conference focused on developing and improving data analysis tools for SMRT Sequencing will be held at the Hilton Washington DC Gaithersburg Hotel, the day prior to the Genome in a Bottle Workshop at the NIST campus.

The goal of the conference is to advance development of analytical tools for PacBio data by enabling in-person brainstorming and idea exchange among software developers and the bioinformatics community. Through facilitation of open discussion and collaboration, the event will nurture development of new and existing open source tools for de novo assembly, genome phasing, structural variations, methylation, targeted sequencing and Iso-Seq™ analysis.
