One of the cooler announcements out of ICHG/ASHG 2011 this year in Montreal is that DNANexus, a cloud based NGS analysis platform, will be mirroring the SRA, concurrently hosted by NCBI.

At ASHG this year there was a definitive slant toward genomics and the role it will play in personalized medicine. To get a brief overview of ASHG and some thoughts on where we are heading in genomics, check out Dean's post The Growth of DNA Sequencing. Below, we put together a comprehensive search of the ASHG2010 tweets, so sit back, grab some coffee, and enjoy reading tweets and following links to some of the most interesting science I have seen in a while.

I recently attended the American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting in Washington, DC and I was struck by how it seemed that every session included a discussion of data generated by DNA sequencing. Just three years ago at this meeting there was exactly one session on DNA sequencing (confirmed in a discussion with Dr. Elaine Mardis as she was the co-chair of the session). How did we come so far so fast?
