Are you going to ASV 2019?
If you are, join us in a few days for a workshop on the virus hunting hackathon we helped run earlier this year.
Session: Workshop #19: Virus Discovery
Program Number: W-19-8
Time: Sunday, July 21, 7:00 PM CDT
Location: Mayo Auditorium
In this workshop, Dr. Rodney Brister will talk about how 41 scientists from 21 organizations worked to improve the usability of SRA data, identifying datasets that included known viruses and viral signals. Not only is that information now being integrated into a public search interface, but the approach used is also being refined in future hackathons so it can be applied to all SRA datasets.
We hope to see you there!
