Thoughts from the SEA-PHAGES symposium

What a weekend! The past two days have been filled with excellent student presentations, ample opportunities for networking and fruitful conversations about future research and teaching ideas. Chen and I presented our poster about alignment-free sequence analysis techniques applied to mycobacteriophage genomes on Saturday night. We must have done something right, because we came back to Janelia Farm this morning with a first place ribbon on our poster! Chen also gave his oral presentation this morning and absolutely knocked it out of the park – people have been coming up to us all day and asking how the animations were done.

We’re going to be putting up a web page summarizing our presentation, poster, results and methods in the next few days. For now, you can view the poster and check out our (unfinished) code at my GitHub. I’ll make another post here when everything is ready!

I was also very impressed with some of the research happening at other schools in the SEA-PHAGES program, and will be writing about some of them in the next few days. For now, check out some photos from Janelia:
