Bioinformatics Open Source Conference, Stockholm, Sweden
A variety of open source bioinformatics packages are used by the research community across many application areas and enable research in the genomic and post-genomic era. Open source bioinformatics software has facilitated innovation, dissemination and adoption of new computational methods, reusable software components and standards.
This year's conference will mark the tenth anniversary of BOSC. To celebrate, the theme is 'Looking back and looking ahead: open source solutions to grand challenges in bioinformatics'. Notably, speakers to come to the event prepared to lead an informal tutorial on their software. This year's topics include:
- design patterns in bioinformatics;
- regulatory genomics;
- data and analysis management;
- computational grids;
- visualisation.
BOSC is sponsored by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of open source software development within the biological research community.For further information, please click:
