We are pleased to announce the first ever pangenomics, graphs and haplotypes hackathon.

From March 25-27, 2019, the NCBI will help run a bioinformatics hackathon in Santa Cruz, California, hosted by the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC).  Potential topics include:

  • Building large scale graphs from pangenomes using several assembly methods
  • Simplification of mapping
  • Resolving haplotypes
  • Identification of population-specific structural variants
  • Defining haplotype-specific expression, visualization, and coordination with the GRC

From March 11-13, 2019, the NCBI will help run a bioinformatics hackathon in the North Carolina Research Triangle hosted by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC).

Potential topics include:

  • technical metadata homogenization
  • a simple interface for using ontologies to make data searches more sensitive and specific
  • automated data analysis and visualization
  • novel isoform identification and comparison

We’re looking for people who have experience in working with subjects like these. If this describes you, please apply!

This event is for researchers, including students and postdocs, who use bioinformatics data or develop pipelines for large scale RNA-Seq analyses from high-throughput experiments. The event is open to anyone selected for the hackathon and willing to travel to UNC. Continue reading →
