Paul Gardner (http://www.biol.canterbury.ac.nz/people/gardner.shtml) talks about the challenges of visualization of RNA Structures and Alignments in the context of Rfam database (http://rfam.sanger.ac.uk/), a collection of non-coding RNAs, structured cis-regulatory elements and self-splicing...

Gisela Storz (http://irp.nih.gov/pi/gisela-storz) talks about the reliability and co-relation of anti-sense RNA sequence data. Comparison of RNA seq data across different experiments and from various sources reveals some discrepancies and lack of overlap. While the majority of RNA seq data is...

Cole Trapnell (http://www.broadinstitute.org/~cole/) focuses on isoform-resolution analysis of RNA -seq. RNA-seq is an assay used to determine the abundance of RNA transcripts in a transcriptome, the results of which can be used for gene discovery and expression analysis. In his talk Cole...

Martin Krzywinski (http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/) gives a great primer on the key principles of effective visual design in biological sciences. During the talk he highlights the principles with examples from various peer-reviewed publications and discusses the practical aspects of effective figure...

Susannah Tringe talks about metagenomics analysis tools and the challenges of gaining a systems-level understanding of a microbial community. She notes that there are some good analysis tools available for analysis at the 16S sequence and unassembled metagenome level, but more effort into...
