SMi's Next-Generation Sequencing conference on 17th - 18th September 2012, in London focuses exclusively on the data interpretation and analytical challenges facing genomics and computational biology today. Whether working with microbial or human DNA, the latest developments to extract biological meaning from short-reads, oligonulceotide sequences or whole genome studies are showcased in this innovative conference. Featuring experts from the EBI, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Merck, Pfizer and Janssen, join your peers at the forefront of translating genomics to targeted therapies.

Key topics covered include:
Methods, interpretation and analysis for DNA and RNA sequences
Applications to small molecule and peptide antibiotic drug discovery
Data storage, compression and analysis
Targeted re-sequencing and prognostic biomarker discovery for neuromuscular dystrophies
Deep sequencing, shRNA maturation analysis and siRNA mode of action studies to elucidate antiviral targets
Improved software techniques to aid antibody and vaccine development
