While wet lab prices are steadily decreasing, bioinformatic and statistical analyses have become a serious bottleneck. We have broadly organized the conference around two axes: technology and applications. The first part will embrace bioinformatic, statistical and computational problems. The second will raise some of the most emblematic areas where NGS has exerted a dramatic influence.The conference is designed to bring together keynote speakers, technological representatives and active researchers in the field so that they can interact in a warm and stimulating atmosphere, and in a beautiful venue as is the early XX century building known as Casa Convalescencia in Barcelona. COMMUNICATIONS: Abstracts should be submitted before July 2, some will be selected for oral presentation. REGISTRATION: The cost is 300 ? and includes admission, abstract book, meals (noon), coffee breaks and farewell cocktail on saturday. The meeting will be held in Casa Convalescencia (http://www.uab-casaconvalescencia.org/).
