Workshop A
Workshop B
A practical introduction for those at the start of the journey and what’s
new for those who have already set off.
Whether or not you are new to the field, this all-encompassing workshop
will give detailed insight, in an interactive format, across the entire
RNA-Seq landscape. RNA sources and preparation, the myriad library
construction options, sequencing: to pair or not to pair, and the world
of analysis – all will be covered and discussed in this complete learning
experience.
Leave this workshop with:
•	 A comprehensive understanding of the RNA-Seq landscape
•	 Further development of the questions to ask when considering 		
	 RNA-Seq
•	 A review of the bench and informatic technologies that are 			
	 right for your specific research needs
Transcriptomic and proteogenomic annotation using cross-omics
approaches by integrating datasets from genomics, transcriptomics and
proteomics aids in putting together alternative splicing fingerprints. The
concerted usage of post-genomic applications enhances gene model
reconstruction when different omics technologies are used in genomic
and transcriptomic annotation initiatives.
This workshop gives a hands-on experience with the use of these
automated transcriptomic annotation pipelines that allow you to use RNA-
Seq data as well as peptide data from proteomic mass-spectrometry. By
following this workshop, you’ll get a unique insight into innovative ways of
bridging technology gaps in this new era of “big data”. You will also find
ways of annotating the splicing transcriptome and use this information in
downstream functional analysis.
Leave this workshop with:
•	 A comprehensive understanding of the innovative ways of bridging 		
	 technology gaps in the new era of big data
•	 Up-to-date perspective of the latest advancements in this area and 		
	 what is just around the corner
•	 A better understanding of how alternative splicing is key in 			
	 fingerprinting the transcriptome

their own next-generation sequence data. For many
scientists, high-throughput sequencing has just moved
the research bottleneck from data generation to data
analysis, with frustrating delays caused by dependence
on specialized analysts. In contrast, we believe that the
computer should be viewed as a laboratory instrument
used in the pursuit of research. Our product, Lumenogix
NGS, is offered in three configurations to cover all possible
customer requirements: as a hosted solution on a private
cloud, as a hardware appliance, configured and ready to
run in your office or lab, and as full installation in your
data center.

Whether or not you are new to the field, this all-encompassing workshop will give detailed insight, in an interactive format, across the entire RNA-Seq landscape. RNA sources and preparation, the myriad library construction options, sequencing: to pair or not to pair, and the world of analysis – all will be covered and discussed in this complete learning experience. Leave this workshop with: • A comprehensive understanding of the RNA-Seq landscape • Further development of the questions to ask when considering RNA-Seq • A review of the bench and informatic technologies that are right for your specific research needs Transcriptomic and proteogenomic annotation using cross-omics approaches by integrating datasets from genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics aids in putting together alternative splicing fingerprints. The concerted usage of post-genomic applications enhances gene model reconstruction when different omics technologies are used in genomic and transcriptomic annotation initiatives. This workshop gives a hands-on experience with the use of these automated transcriptomic annotation pipelines that allow you to use RNA- Seq data as well as peptide data from proteomic mass-spectrometry. By following this workshop, you’ll get a unique insight into innovative ways of bridging technology gaps in this new era of “big data”. You will also find ways of annotating the splicing transcriptome and use this information in downstream functional analysis. Leave this workshop with: • A comprehensive understanding of the innovative ways of bridging technology gaps in the new era of big data • Up-to-date perspective of the latest advancements in this area and what is just around the corner • A better understanding of how alternative splicing is key in fingerprinting the transcriptome Seth has been at Washington University for nearly 12 years. During that time he directed the Genome Technology Access Center during its first 2 years. Prior to that he was the Director of Translational Research at the Genome Center (now the Genome Institute). Prior to his tenure at Washington University, Dr. Crosby worked in the field of genomics and drug discovery at Abbott Laboratories, Pfizer and Pharmacia.

Maverix provides life sciences researchers direct interaction with a secure, cloud-based platform to manage, explore, and visualize genomic data generated via high throughput sequencing. Integrating best-in- class open-source software, scientists are empowered to ask new questions; build collaborative “communities of discovery” to share data, methods, and results; and integrate their data in context with the latest public and private biomic information for viral, bacterial, vertebrate, and plant genomes. The Maverix Analytic Platform is also optimized to discover previously unknown roles of small RNA in every aspect of cell regulation. Lumenogix is built on the principle that researchers in the life sciences should be able to analyze and understand their own next-generation sequence data. For many scientists, high-throughput sequencing has just moved the research bottleneck from data generation to data analysis, with frustrating delays caused by dependence on specialized analysts. In contrast, we believe that the computer should be viewed as a laboratory instrument used in the pursuit of research. Our product, Lumenogix NGS, is offered in three configurations to cover all possible customer requirements: as a hosted solution on a private cloud, as a hardware appliance, configured and ready to run in your office or lab, and as full installation in your data center.
