Dear Colleagues,

I would be very grateful if you could help us disseminate this call for
the second edition of the NGS conference Jen Harrow and myself are
organizing in Barcelona this coming spring, in collaboration with the
ISCB and the CRG. I hope to see you there!

Best,

Cedric

----------
We invite submission to the 2016 Next Generation Sequencing - Barcelona
Conference (NGS-Barcelona), April 4-6 in Barcelona, Spain. Hosted by the
International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and the Centre
for Genomic Regulation (CRG), this year's edition will be dedicated to
Genome Annotation.


More details are available from: https://www.iscb.org/ngs2016

This dedicated meeting on cutting-edge approaches to the processing and
analysis of Genome Annotation methods will bring together bioinformatics
researchers involved in the development of genome annotation methods,
along with biologists interested in the establishment and annotation of
new reference genomes. The conference will address a wide range of
issues including RNASeq-based genome annotation, non-coding RNA
analysis, proteomics data integration and data visualization. Sizeable
space will be dedicated to emerging and future trends in genomics
including eco-system analysis and novel reference genomes.

Topics include:

- State of the art technologies, and technologies under development

- Novel software and algorithms

- Novel applications of NGS technologies in genomics and biology

- Post genome sequencing analysis, including RNA analysis, transcription
  factor binding sites profiling, histone modifications, nucleosome
  positioning, copy number variation, genotyping, RNA structure, dynamics
  of transcription and translation, etc.

- Research breakthroughs based on exhaustive applications of NGS

- Clinical and translational applications

- Applications to agriculture and biotechnology

- Novel Reference genomes

The conference will also aim to encompass the associated computational
challenges:

- Novel algorithms, methods and pipelines

- Comparative benchmarks of methods

- New visualisation software for NGS

We welcome original research submissions and previously published
research for oral presentation, as well as Poster abstracts. Plan to
submit your research (http://www.iscb.org/ngs2016-submissions) to this
engaging conference! Abstracts will be accepted through 18 January.

We hope to see you in Barcelona.

Sincerely,

Cedric Notredame, Centre for Genomic Regulation
