The (Genomics) View From the 57th Floor

June 25, 2012

June 25, 2012 | The editors of the new journal GigaScience offer their appraisal of the inaugural Bio-IT World Asia conference, held earlier this month in Singapore. "The meeting's proximity to the Singapore Biopolis ... and its location at the 57 story Marina Bay Sands resort (with its rooftop world's highest infinity pool) were a winning combination in getting an impressive mix of scientists from around the Asia-Pacific and beyond... to attend and present. With tracks on IT infrastructure and the cloud, drug discovery informatics, bioinformatics, and NGS data management and interpretation, it followed GigaScience's "big-data" scope very well, and a lot of interesting and relevant work was on display."
