More than two years into the scaling phase of the ENCODE, the Analysis Working group meets in Barcelona to discuss the challenges of analyzing the great amount of data produced by the project. The meeting takes place ten years after the sequencing of the human genome, and most Principal Investigators will contribute to this public symposium on the 20th July 2010, from 10 am to 5 pm, titled “The ENCODE project ten years after the human genome sequence”.
