Go back to the summary of the CRI symposium.Overall summary: Is it possible to move the goal-posts and say that a clinical “test†no longer revolves around the actual sequencing of a cancer gene, as in the case of BRCA1/2 screening, but is now more […]
Go back to the summary of the CRI symposium.Overall summary: The top10 BrCA CaGens only account for 50% of mutation load, the tail is going to be important in personalising treatment. Some patients only show a single driver mutation, can cancer be driven by a […]
Over the last two days there has been what I would consider one of the best meetings this year for Cancer genome sequencing scientists; and it is right on my doorstep! The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute (CRI) symposium this year focuses on the […]
I just organised and hosted an NGS conference for 150 people in Cambridge which was well attended, had interesting talks and received positive feedback. It was a lot of work getting everything organised so I thought I’d put together my thoughts on the whole thing […]
Over the past two days I have hosted the 3rd CRI/Sanger NGS workshop at CRI. I hosted the first of these in 2009 and the demand for information about NGS technologies and applications appears to be greater today than it was back then. We had […]
AGBT is over and what a meeting it was. I have never been to a conference where it felt like everyone, and it really did feel like everyone was talking about the same thing over lunch. Oxford Nanopore made a big impact.There has been some […]
Rick Myers, HudsonAlpha Institute. Genetics and Epigenetics of Human Gene Regulation: Eukaryotic genome architecture is complex, cis and trans components looks like 1800 DNA binding proteins (what do they all do, can we find out before 2020). Talked about the promoter expansion in EPM1 gene […]
AGBT is over as far as many attendees are concerned, the sequencing landscape looks like it might be about to ramp up to the next gear. Again!The new MinION (read about the USB seqeuncer later on) will cost $500. assuming everyone at AGBT buys one […]
Day one of my attendance at the 2012 AGBT conference.I missed the Wednesday workshop, “Utilization of New DNA Sequencing Technologies” and the welcome reception which this year was sponsored by Agilent Technologies.Getting through Miami airport was a chore, nealr two hours for security!I decided to […]
