Next Generation Sequencing: What's Next?

In conjunction with the COST Action Training School SeqAhead is organizing a one-day workshop on "Next Generation Sequencing: What´s Next?". The workshop will focus on future developments in NGS and point out the success the technology has in modern biology research.

The Workshop will take place at Uppsalas Uppsala Konsert & Kongress (http://www.ukk.se).

The programme include 2 keynote lectures, selected oral presentations and presentations from industry and 
technology specialists such as SciLife, BGI, Illumina, Pacific Biosciences, Ion Torrent and Applied Biosystems/SOLiD.

An extensive poster session will stimulate interaction and discussions. The submitters of the five best abstracts will be reimbursed for travel and accommodation (according to COST rules) and the two best abstracts will be selected for oral presentation.

The selection of abstracts is finished and the authors are invited to present their posters at the poster session. The two selected oral speakers are on the programme.
