SFAF (“Sequencing, Finishing and Analysis in the Future”) 2014 Meeting is taking place at Los Alamos, and readers can follow all discussions by checking the twitter hashtag #SFAF2014. The above picture is submitted by @NoblisNews.

Sequencing, Finishing and Analysis in the Future (SFAF) is an annual meeting dedicated to bringing together experts in the genomics fieldincluding representatives from the industries that serve this specialized scientific community.

The meeting focuses on laboratory methods and computational tools used to help sequence, assemble, and finish genomes, including new sequencing technologies, which promise high-throughput results by sequencing more base-pairs per run at longer read-lengths.

The agenda for the meeting is available from this link. A number of talks caught our attention, but we have not got time to follow twitter to find what was presented. If you are one of the mentioned speakers, would you please send the slides or other materials for our readers? Others are welcome too !
