Jonathan Eisen's been blogging the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting in Marco Island. Here's what he's written so far:
- Advances in Genome Biology and Technology Meeting - First Post
- AGBT Marco Usland Update - Long Live Sequencing
- Marco Island Evening One - The Strange and the Good
- More notes from Marco Island/ AGBT
- Coolest Thing at Marco Island - The Polonator
- Marco Island sequencing frenzy - are we getting lost in all the data?
- Marco Island - Saving Some of the Best for Last
