A workshop on computational advances for next generation sequencing will be held on Feb. 4, 2011 in conjunction with ICCABS 2011, in Orlando, Florida. The workshop aims to bring together experts in the field to discuss mathematical and computational challenges such as error correction, de novo genome assembly, novel transcript discovery, virus quasispecies assembly, etc. The meeting is by invitation only; if you would like to inquire about the possibility of being invited, please contact the organizers by January 10, 2011.
