Program:

13:00-13:05 Welcome

Jan Gorodkin, University of Copenhagen.

 

13:05-13:50 Avalanche probing in High-throughput sequencing data

Steve Hofmann, LIFE Research Center and Interdisciplinary Center for Bioinformatics,
University of Leipzig.
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis for the first time offers to possibility to quickly
investigate whole genomes and transcriptomes in an essentially unbiased way. However,
on the other side of the sequencer, scientists are flooded with terabytes of sequence data
rising the need for efficient and fast ways to analyze it. Here, some interesting examples of HTS-data and strategies for analysis will be reviewed. A special focus will be on mapping, splice-site detection and transcription start site
prediction.

 

13:50-14:10 Break

 

14:10-14:55 How to assess (non)coding potential?

Sven Findeiss, Department of Computer Science and Interdisciplinary Center for
Bioinformatics, University of Leipzig
Independent of species and sequences which are analyzed, researchers working in
comparative genomics always have to face the same old question: Does my new
sequence have any function? In fact, the assessment of potentially coding and noncoding
regions still is a pressing practical problem. Therefore, two in silico methods and their
broad field of application are presented.

 

 

 

Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health is looking for students who would be interested in either bioinformatics or experimental projects concerning analysis of the in silico generated ncRNA candidates that appears everywhere in the in mammalian genome.
