PARTICIPATE IN THE DREAM CHALLENGES
This conference will also feature the ninth annual meeting of the Dialogue for Reverse Engineering Assessments and Methods (DREAM). We invite the scientific community to participate in this year’s DREAM Challenges, which have been designed to focus attention on important questions related to human health. Learn more about the DREAM Challenges.

PARTICIPATE IN THE CYTOSCAPE WORKSHOPS
We have added a pair of Cytoscape Workshops on November 9, preceding the main meeting. Choose between either user or developer tutorials. The user tutorial will introduce network analysis and visualization principles and cover how to most effectively use Cytoscape in your research. The developer tutorial will focus on how to develop a Cytoscape App to extend the functionality to novel data types, web services, visualizations, algorithms and more. In addition to the workshops, Cytoscape posters will be featured concurrently with the DREAM program on November 10, and Cytoscape App Expo oral presentations will be included in the Systems Biology program on November 11 and 12.

CONFERENCE LOCATION
This year’s conference will take place on November 09 - 14 at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside in San Diego, California. Located on the waterfront not far from the popular Gaslamp Quarter, the hotel is within walking distance of shopping, dining, and nightlife.

 

HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR 2013 CONFERENCE
A selection of videos from our 2013 conference in Toronto is now available. You can also download the 2013 program booklet (pdf) or see the Top Ten Paper Awards.
