AGBT 2012 Day 1 Tweets
15 Feb 2012AGBT day 1 tweets! (Day 2, Day 3, Day 4)
Great weather, beautiful beaches, palm trees, copious free alcohol ... why would you want to go to AGBT when you can keep track via Twitter? I've hooked up a little script to monitor all the #AGBT tweets so you can get all the goodness of the conference without the sun-burn, alligator bites, inappropriate liaisons etc.
On the scientific agenda today:
1:30-1:35 pm, Opening remarks, Ken Dewar, McGill University and Génome Québec Innovation Centre
1:35-2:05 pm, Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies and Resources, Mark Adams, J. Craig Venter Institute
2:10-2:30 pm High Throughput Process Development in the Broad Institute Genome Sequencing Platform, Danielle Perrin, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
2:35-2:55 pm Resequencing: Approaches & Challenges, Thomas Keane, The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
3:30-3:50 pm De Novo Assembly: From Single Cells to Metagenomes Matt Blow, Joint Genome Institute
