Dear colleagues,


Registration for the ENCODE 2016: Research Applications and Users Meeting
is now open: www.encode2016.org



This is a great opportunity for both novice and experienced users of
genomic data to learn about ENCODE resources and how to leverage them for
their own research. 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!
