A Scotland-wide user group on bioinformatics for next-generation sequencing that meets once every two months to figure out the best ways of working with and making meaning of the massive amounts of data from ultra-high-throughput technologies such as Illumina Solexa, AB SOLiD, and Roche 454.

The next NextGenBUG (next generation sequencing Bioinformatics User Group) will be on Tuesday 6 April 2010, from 13:00-16:00 at National e-Science Institute (NeSCI)

Agenda:

1. Digital Gene Expression of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense  - Nicola Veitch, Glasgow Biomedical Research Centre,  University of Glasgow 2. Assembly of viruses and larger genome assembly errors and correction using solid data - Alistair Darby, Centre of Genomic Research, Liverpool
