The meeting will take place *June 8th - June 10th, 2016*, at the Stanford Li Ka Shing Center, at 219 Campus Drive, Palo Alto CA, and will feature: ٭ Hands-on training workshops to learn to navigate, analyze, and integrate ENCODE and mouse ENCODE data into your research. No programming experience required. ٭ Leading-edge research applications from distinguished invited speakers. ٭ Tutorials on newly-available informatics pipelines that greatly facilitate working with ENCODE data. ٭ Short talks selected from abstracts. *Registration is only $100 for academic attendees and $250 for non-academic attendees. This does not include transportation or lodging, but does cover meals.* *KEYNOTE SPEAKER* ٭ Nancy Cox, Vanderbilt University *CONFIRMED SPEAKERS* ٭ Matthew Freedman, Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center ٭ Tom Gingeras, Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory ٭ Brenton Graveley, University of Connecticut Health Center ٭ Mathieu Lupien, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre ٭ Katherine Pollard, The Gladstone Institute at UCSF ٭ Tim Reddy, Duke University ٭ Bing Ren, University of California, San Diego ٭ Yijun Ruan, The Jackson Laboratory ٭ Michael Snyder, Stanford University ٭ Barbara Stranger, University of Chicago ٭ Zhiping Weng, University of Massachusetts Medical School ٭ Grace Xiao, University of California, Los Angeles *WORKSHOP TOPICS* ٭ Viewing, querying, and downloading ENCODE data ٭ Running ENCODE processing pipelines on your own data (including ChIP-seq, eCLIP-seq, RNA-seq, DNase-seq, DNA methylation) ٭ Integrating ENCODE data with those from your lab or other major projects ٭ Using ENCODE data to interpret human variation, personal genomes, and disease (including cancer) genomes ٭ Connecting regulatory elements to their target genes across the genome ٭ Integrative analysis ٭ See the website for more details about training workshops We look forward to seeing you at Stanford University!
