The 13th Meeting of the MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) Project—September 13-14
The MAQC Project Meeting, held on September 13-14, 2011 on the SAS campus in Cary, North Carolina, focused on the third phase of the MAQC project (MAQC-III), which is also known as the Sequencing Quality Control (SEQC) Project. The two-day workshop addressed the applications of next-generation sequencing technologies in translational and regulatory sciences and was attended by government, academic, and industry scientists from the United States, China, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Australia. The participants discussed preliminary data obtained from the SEQC Project and also outlined plans for further development and publication of the results from the project. The MAQC project is an FDA-led community-wide effort to develop standards for genomic research and bioinformatics to support translational and personalized medicine.
