Very enjoyable presentation of an application of metagenomics, I learned a lot, and as always was interesting to meet and talk to people who share the same passion. -
A well-prepared and engaging talk by a very knowledgeable and engaging speaker.— Walter

Very interesting and thought-provoking! Scientific challenges, well presented and initiating a stimulating discussion how to address the many open questions in highly changable organisms under extreme environmental stress conditions. -

I found the meeting very interesting, I became more interested in cloud computing and establishing an ELN at my company.

Well balanced panel, good discussion points. If you missed it, my slides can be downloaded here: http://www.io-informatics.com/news/pdfs/SFSU_CCLS_seminar_EGombocz20120503.pdf

Arthur Grossman doesn't need much of an introduction. He is a great speaker, and he gave a very enjoyable presentation about a nice analysis. I am not sure I share his skepticism about growing algae in open raceway ponds for biofuels, but I agree with him that having organisms that could secret the oil would be a game changer.

Provided information I can use right away. Topic is in my area of interest. Very good speaker. -
Very informative. Glad I went and learnt something completely new - steps in a scientific project from using bioinformatics in identifying new targets to detecting new reactions/pathways involved in the regulation of photosynthesis. -
He is a brilliant scientist and gave an outstanding talk, but the emphasis on very detailed biochemistry was not the best choice for a room full of bioinformaticists, in my view. -

Raymond and Kristina have an interesting and commendable effort going on with BioCurious. The talk was quite informative and they were gracious enough to show us their setup and talk to us about their future plans. Meeting people who were involved in or interested in bioinformatics was a definite plus.

I know Raymond for a little while now, he is a great guy, very knowledgeable and a fantastic speaker! Anybody who is interested in the promise of digital Life Sciences and wants to be part of the action would have enjoyed Raymond's out look of what the future might bring. It's this kind of vision that got me into this business in the first place. The future is bright for bioinformatics.

Very impressive work that will boost cancer research.

Fantastic summary of UCSC Cancer Genomics current capabilities and planned enhancements. The incorporation/collaboration of I-SPY2 clinical data is intrigues me. Thank you Jingchun. -

It was more of a set of company profiles than talks about actual data mining. That was probably good for the SFSU students who attended, and I should have realized that might be the emphasis.
-
Excellent overview about challenges, strategies and approaches to deal with large datasets to extract meaningful knowledge in industry and academia. I love the discussion comment fro Thomas Wu, Genetech: "We don't use computers for everything, we just use people" when talking about pros&cons of machine learning. Clearly, as Stanford's Nick Tatoretti stated, "we need both, informaticists with algorithms, and biologists with deep scientific knowledge" to make sense of it all and to avoid biased results.

Useful overview of 1 vendor's tools / integration framework. Was not as broad as the title implies. -
Yet another great meeting about a very relevant topic. We had an excellent speaker addressing a common challenge in bioinformatics. The framework introduced not only pipes together a number of tools but most importantly also enables the user to extend the framework via plugins and access a workstation farm.
-
it was a bit "info-mercial" for my taste. -

Was a great talk, learnt a lot !— saumitra

Jeff delivered a very informative overview of the current state of genome sequencing technology and Phylogenomics techniques. I have personally struggled to understand some of the concepts of phylogenomics and am indebted to Jeff for explainIng them clearly and succinctly in a way that I feel I finally understand. These are powerful tools in any bioinformatician's toolbox and I feel that many people would benefit from learning more about them. -

An excellent talk by a smart and forward looking researcher. Hector's enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the field made the talk interesting and informative. Dr Martin responded to lively discussion from the audience with a frank assessment of the current limitations of the field and a clear path towards solutions. Thank you to all who attended and thanks especially to Hector Garcia Martin for an excellent and stimulating talk.

NGS, beer, pizza, what more can one ask for? - Great location, great hosting, interesting and entertaining talks. I am using SEQanswers quite a bit myself and was curious to finally meet who is behind all of this and learn about some of the history.

Great presentation by Eric, and others.

Excellent topics, great presentation, and an enthusiastic crowd attending and talking long after the official ending - you cannot expect to have more from an event like this. Keep up the good work! Doug has sent out links to the presentations - thank you, Doug!
-
The presenters were all interesting, I liked the web sites they pointed us to as well. -
Doug and Darryl put on a fantastic forum! BioCurious gives BayBifx 5 stars! -
It was nice to see such a large group. I liked the pfam and metagenomics talks! Did anyone catch Jennifers email address? She talked about a job across the street. I thought she said her company was called Synapse. I have a friend who is intersted in the job.
-
Great set of lightning talks! We started out slow and basic with BLAST but quickly ramped up from there. Jon's talk on protein families was the perfect follow on to BLAST. This was the first tool I turned to when I noticed the obvious oxidase specific domain. Thanks to all who presented and all who attended!
