Data transmission for international genomics projects


Shenzhen, 7-8 October 2010


Because of the new generation (high-throughput) sequencing technology generates data at a much larger scale and quicker pace, the data transmission has become a major bottleneck for international projects to exchange their data. The workshop is the continuation of the discussion initiated in Beijing last October on data transmission challenges. This workshop will focus more specifically on challenges faced by large genomics projects.

Objectives


1. To review the current data transmission practices by major genomic research partners in UK, China and US , and seek the potential improvement and collaborations between partners and industry solution providers in data transmission technology

2. To bring network specialists from EBI, relevant UK/EU projects and Chinese key network service providers together, to optimize the current network configuration, and raise the awareness in their future planning. 


The workshop is by invitation only. If you are interested in participating please contact Weimin Zhu.
