Description
 
Center for Algorithmic Biotechnology of Saint Petersburg State University invites you to attend the conference "Bioinformatics: From Algorithms to Applications" that will take place at the Saint Petersburg State University, Russia on August 1-3, 2017 and will be followed by a 2-day (August 4-5, 2017) hands-on workshop focusing on various SPAdes tools including SPAdes, metaSPAdes, rnaSPAdes, plasmidSPAdes, etc as well as QUAST, metaQUAST, and rnaQUAST.

Modern life science studies involve both biological and computational methods. Breakthrough results in these fields can only be achieved by tight communication and knowledge exchange between the two sides. The conference aims to bridge bioinformatics methods for genome, metagenome, transcriptome and immune repertoire analysis with the requirements of biological applications.

The conference welcomes contributions describing the challenges and latest applications of bioinformatics algorithms in the following fields:

- Sequencing technologies
- Molecular sequence analysis
- Computational genomics
- Genome assembly
- Transcriptomics
- Metagenomics
- Immunogenomics

Invited Speakers:

Prof. Jillian Banfield, University of California, Berkeley
Prof. Mikhail Gelfand, Moscow State University
Dr. Nikos Kyrpides, Joint Genome Institute
Dr. Nicholas Loman, University of Birmingham
Dr. Jared Simpson, Ontario Institute for Cancer Research
Dr. Adam Phillippy, National Human Genome Research Institute, NIH
Dr. Dominique Lavenier, French National Center for Scientific Research
