Scientific Overview
In just a few years, new technologies for massively parallel DNA sequencing have become widely
available, reducing the cost of sequencing a genome by four orders of magnitude and placing the
capacity to generate gigabases to terabases of sequence data into the hands of individual
investigators. These “next-generation” technologies have the potential to dramatically accelerate
biological and biomedical research by enabling the comprehensive analysis of genomes and
transcriptomes to become inexpensive, routine and widespread.
This is a dynamic moment in the field. The technologies themselves are evolving at a breathtaking
pace, and the exploding volume of data has spurred the development of novel algorithmic approaches
for primary analyses of sequence data.
This workshop, the first in a series of five, will bring together leaders in the field to present
next-generation sequencing technology and to discuss the various mathematical and computational
challenges presented by these technologies. Specifically, we will provide an introduction to the
core concepts driving the development of leading second-generation and third-generation technologies.
This discussion will be linked to an extensive consideration of methods for base-calling and
variant-calling, for aligning reads to reference sequences (e.g. genomes) and for de novo assembly
of short reads into longer sequences.
