ISMB/ECCB 2007 recap

Posted on July 30th, 2007 by Jason Stajich ·

ISMB2007Back from ISMB/ECCB and a mountain of things left undone that somehow still need doing ... including a quick entry about what was interesting at the conference. I heard many good talks and only a few bad ones - maybe I guessed properly in darting between the multiple sessions. The meeting itsself was much better than past ones I had attended. The combination of Special Interest Groups meeting (BOSC, AFP, and Microbial Comparative Genomics being the ones I spent my time in). I got to give my talks and tutorial during the first few days and was able to just try and soak up the rest of the meeting (when my brain wasn't melting from the heat). Particularly good was Carole Goble's presentation on 7-deadly sins of bioinformatics software development. Some general evolutionary talks that I found really interesting (some of these are probably biased since I count many of the presenters as friends): I'll write a quick post on the BoF session on open source and data sharing as well. Todd and I took some pictures as well.
