Description |
|
| The complete genome sequences of hundreds of organisms have provided the list of components required to make an organism viable. High-throughput functional genomic technologies continue to generate vast amounts of information describing the functions and interactions of these components within the cell. Through the combined use of computational and experimental techniques, we are now beginning to achieve comprehensive mappings of cellular and molecular networks. However, there are major challenges to interpret these data in a biological meaningful fashion: how should we integrate these disparate data sources, and utilise them to improve our understanding of complex biological systems and diseases. The meeting will take place at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre, in the convivial setting of the Hinxton Genome Campus where some of the world’s leading scientists can discuss advances in their field and learn about recent progress in others. Additional speakers will be selected to speak from submitted abstracts Sessions This conference will provide a forum for discussions about post-genomic research in humans and other organisms. Rather than focusing on a particular subject, we will cover a diverse selection of areas in post-genomic science. Topics will include: • High throughput technologies and their applications • Cellular assays and imaging • Functional genomics of disease and model organisms • Single cell/molecule level analysis • Genome regulation • Human genetic variation and disease • Biological networks • Frontiers in computational biology Scientific Programme Committee: Alvis Brazma, EMBL – EBI, UK Tom Freeman, University Of Edinburgh, UK Nicholas Luscombe, EMBL-EBI, UK |
