[Geuvadis_rnaseq] reminder Geuvadis TC tomorrow 11am - geuvadis_rnaseq@lists.crg.es

5 May 2011

Dear All,

This message is a reminder for the Geuvadis RNAseq phone conference that will take place
tomorrow May 6 from 11am - 12pm CEST.

Here again the most important information for this call (the same information as in my
mail from April 26):

To participate in this call you have to do the following:
- if you call in from Switzerland dial:  +41 58 262 07 22 
- otherwise from other countries please find enclosed the list with the "local access
numbers for teleconferences" and dial the number corresponding to your country.

Then enter the PIN: 611683 
In case you need assistance during the call - dial "OO" (nil nil) to get in
touch with an operator. 

I have written down the following points that should be discussed:

1. As of now we made plans that the different labs analyze samples from one particular
population (as listed in the workflow document that I've sent around on April 7).
It would be a better experimental design if the samples were randomly distributed among
the different labs. Since there is still time to react - do we want to switch the
strategy?

2. How long are the library prep / sequencer queue up times in the different labs (once
you receive the RNA samples - how long do you think will it take you to analyze them?).
If some labs expect to have much larger delays, we could make arrangements that those labs
get samples earlier than other labs. 
This would also mean that we would all use the protocol that is used at the time point
when the first lab starts to analyze samples.

3. Which other samples (other than the 500 1KGP European samples) should be analyzed by
RNAseq? 

4. Specifications for the small RNA protocol.

Looking forward to talk to you tomorrow,

Thomas
