SciGenom Conferences (an education arm of SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF)) 2014 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) Conference 17th -19th November 2014, NIMHANS, Bangalore, India Hosted by: SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF), National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) & Institute of Bioinformatics (IOB) Pre-Conference NGS Bioinformatics Workshop 15th-16th November 2014, Institute of Bioinformatics, Bangalore, India Hosted by: SciGenom Research Foundation(SGRF) and Institute of Bioinformatics (IOB), Bangalore SciGenom Research Foundation (SGRF), National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) & The Institute of Bioinformatics (IOB) are pleased to host the 2014 NextGen Genomics & Bioinformatics Technologies (NGBT) conference in Bangalore, India. In just over a decade, since the first human reference genome was completed for US$3 billion, the sequencing technologies have radically changed allowing human genome sequencing to be accomplished in a week for under US$1000. The next generation sequencing technologies over the past five years have enabled a large number of genomic studies that impact human health and disease. Also, this has made possible the growth of microbial, animal and plant genomics studies. While the data production has increased at a rapid pace, challenges in analyzing and interpreting the data remain. The NGBT conference will cover the recent advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, bioinformatics for NGS and translational applications of NGS in various areas of lifesciences including human health and medicine.
