"Finding a needle in a (meta) genomic haystack: single-nucleotide resolution via efficient multiple sequence alignment

Monday, March 5, 2018 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The DNA data deluge is upon us. Hundreds of thousands of draft and complete genomes comprising closely-related pathogen strains are now available from public databases. These data provide us with an unprecedented opportunity to track genome evolution across all domains of life and trace the spread of infectious disease.
