[Todos] [FCEyN] Charla abierta del Dr. Terry Speed “Statistical challenges with next-generation DNA sequencing”

[Secretaría Académica]

La Secretaría Académica invita a la charla presentada por el Dr Terry Speed, Director de Bioinformatics Division, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourn-Australia y Profesor Emérito del Departamento de Estadística de la Universidad de California, Berkeley- USA.
El Dr. Terry Speed es mundialmente conocido por sus contribuciones en bioinformatica en especial en el análisis de datos de experimentos de microarreglos.

Resumen de la charla
For the past decade, microarrays have been the assays of choice for a wide range of high-throughput biological assays. Recent improvements in the efficiency, quality, and cost of DNA sequencing are prompting biologists rapidly to abandon microarrays in favor of so-called next-generation sequencers, e.g., Applied Biosystems' SOLiD, Helicos BioSciences' HeliScope, Illumina's Genome Analyzer, and Roche's 454 Life Sciences sequencing systems. These high-throughput sequencing technologies have already been applied to studying genome-wide transcription levels (mRNA-Seq), transcription factor binding sites (ChIP-Seq), chromatin structure, DNA methylation status, copy number and several other tasks. Such studies have overcome many longstanding limitations of microarray-based studies, but of course new technologies raise similar as well as novel statistical and computational challenges. In this talk I'll introduce the topic and outline some of the issues that are currently interesting me in this area.
 
Lugar: Aula 6 Pabellón II. FCEN-UBA
