The SeqAhead COST action BM1006 is organising a 2 day workshop with presentations on non-coding RNA (ncRNA) research, bioinformatics, data analysis and stimulate discussions between biologists and bioinformaticians. 
 
The Workshop will concentrate on current topics in NGS and non-coding RNAs, with special emphasis on data analysis. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to bring closer software developers, bioinformaticians and experimental scientists, bridging the gap between users' needs and developers' goals.
 
Workshop Target:
 
-biologists with research in ncRNA applying or planning to apply Next Generation Sequencing technologies
-bioinformaticians involved in data analysis or developing algorithms for data analysis of ncRNA data.
