Scientific Program
It is possible for every participant to present his/her scientific work. All diploma, master and PhD students should give a talk. This is not only a burden but also a good chance to present your scientific results to Peter, Ivo, Rolf and all the others of the Bompfünewerer consortium at the same time. We will have four kinds of talks:
- Introductory talk: 5 minutes
- Regular talk: 15 minutes
- Extended talk: 25 minutes
- Late night show: 45 minutes
A guide which talk format is the right for you can be found here.
A meaningful (preliminary) title should be given in the registration process in order to schedule talk sessions.
As usual, we provide a video projector (with VGA port) and a laser pointer for the presentations. If you cannot provide your talk as a PDF on USB stick, please bring all necessary equipment with you.
Approximate time table can be found

A PDF version of the time table can be found here.
The slides can be found here.
Nanopore Workshop
This year's workshop will focus on Nanopore direct RNA sequencing.
We'll start on Monday with a live in-field sequencing demonstration of a "mystery sample", during which participants get some hands-on experience using the MinION sequencer.
Tuesday will provide the theoretical background on the previous day's experiment and introduce the Nanopore toolchain -- including preprocessing, mapping and assembly -- and focusing on typical strengths and weaknesses of the technology.
On Thursday we'll explore the data generated on day 1 using the skills obtained on day 2. Great fun is to be expected.
