Last October 22-23, 2012, the DSCF and CFB (Core Facility for Bioinformatics) held an echo report of the BGI Bioinformatics Workshop and the JGI Microbial Genomics & Metagenomics Workshop. Mr. David Gonzales and Ms. Marylette Roa facilitated the BGI report, which covered a wide range of bioinformatics techniques to analyze next generation sequencing data.
DSCF attends the 4th Annual Asia-Pacific Life Technologies Sequencing Summit
Dr. Cynthia Saloma and research assistant Denice Palmos attended the 4th Annual Asia-Pacific Life Technologies Sequencing Summit last October 7-9, 2012 held in Bali, Indonesia. The event featured plenary sessions and scientific poster presentations, which highlighted different research studies from a wide variety of genomic field specializations.
PGC attends the BGI Bioinformatics Workshop
Last September 17-21, 2012, members of the PGC Core Facilities attended a bioinformatics workshop held in BGI (formerly Beijing Genomics Institute) Shenzhen, China. Marylette Roa represented CFB while David Gonzales represented DSCF. The workshop included topics on variation detection, small RNA research, transcriptomics, genome assembly, single cell omics, and epigenetics.
