Supercomputing and Next Generation Sequencing (2011)
The objective of this seminar was showing researchers the computational problems involved in the analysis of the readings taken with the new sequencing technologies, as well as some of the solutions already available. Considering the two problems (the sheer volume of data and the shortness of the sequences), was addressed how they are bypassing these in the use of NGS for the quantification of gene expression, the quality of the results, the assembly sequences, visualization and storage. To achieve this objective, renowned scientists and researchers shared with the attendants their findings at developed projects and studies.
