"Symposium: The ENCODE project ten years after the human genome sequence"

More than two years into the scaling phase of the ENCODE project, and as one of the active ENCODE research units our group hosted the ENCODE Analysis Working group which met in Barcelona to discuss the challenges of analyzing the great amount of data being produced by the project. This meeting took place ten years after the sequencing of the human genome, and most of the Principal Investigators involved in this International collaboration contributed to this public symposium that took place on the 20th July 2010. Details of this meeting and the people involved can be found here.

The symposium culminated in two plenary sessions by Dr. Peter Good and Dr. Elise Feingold about the challenges of next decade in the field of genomics and, particularly, in the sequencing of the human genome.
