Only three talks into #AGBT and already two of them underlining the sequencing data deluge.
2012-02-16 04:40:16Keane says 10 bytes of storage per bp, adds up to 200 terabytes by end of year. #AGBT
2012-02-16 04:42:37Uk10k project, uses 10bytes data per bp (Thomas Keane) #agbt
2012-02-16 04:43:05But 13 people for sample prep! RT @illumina Danielle Perrin @broadinstitute : 51 HiSeq systems, only 6 staff needed to run them #AGBT
2012-02-16 04:43:55@iontorrent Sequencing on the beach... Nice! #IonBus #AGBT
2012-02-16 04:51:54First mention of fast (one day) high-depth genome data: from Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Thomas Keane outlining future challenges of data) #AGBT
2012-02-16 04:54:15If you wanna know just how nerdy biotech can be, search #notAGBT. #AGBT
2012-02-16 04:54:44Why cost of sequencing is not a real metric @djschlesinger: Keane says storage-computing biggest challenge. Same story as last year. #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:10:42Thomas Keane @sangerinstitute :UK10k, 4k WG, 600 exomes, 2K twins. 100 Tbp total, 40 Tbp from BGI. Complete by first half 2012! #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:14:40Matthew Blow from JGI up next to talk about De Novo assembly, #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:29:26JGI is using longer PacBio reads to close gaps in Illumina shorter read assemblies. Able to close 75% of gaps in microbial genomes. #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:42:41Keane @sangerinstitute : #NGS storage challenges, expect 2K Tb sequence in 2012. New file formats needed - CRAM. #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:45:05JGI has sequenced the genomes of 20 "unculturable" microbes. I wish I had this technology in grad school! #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:48:40#agbt 3 hours in. JGI using PacBio to fill gaps in genome assemblies. MCW to do the same.
2012-02-16 05:50:07To explore function of unculturable microbes, JGI plans to sequence 300 novel bacterial genomes from single cells #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:50:27#AGBT Matt Blow from jgi shows that pacbio + Illumina improves assemblies vs just illumina, but did not show pacbio data alone as control.
2012-02-16 05:54:11Thank you to @pathogenomenick for already logging the #AGBT tweets! http://t.co/lFfSXrxJ
2012-02-16 05:55:07Shawn Levy from Hudson/Alpha inst. for Biotech up next to talk about transcriptomics #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:56:20@NuGENInc also has chocolate covered strawberries for #AGBT In the Sanibel Suite. Come on by.
2012-02-16 05:56:28Matt Blow @doe_jgi ~1,150 microb, ~78 fungi, ~5 plant, 483 metagenomes & 300 single cell microbes to be seq'd in 2012. #AGBT
2012-02-16 05:57:01@NuGENInc Chocolate covered strawberries for #AGBT. Come by Sanibel Suite to get yours http://t.co/M5VUU1wj
2012-02-16 05:59:45ANALYZE large sample sets across focused genomic regions. Learn more in Suite 285. #AGBT
2012-02-16 06:00:06Finally a speaker who has his own Tweeter feed, Shaw Levy (@genomicslab) from @hudsonalpha. #AGBT
2012-02-16 06:01:00If you are at #AGBT then feel free to say hello to our colleagues from BC Genomics. There to answer all your SPRIworks questions!
