Description |
|
| This conference will bring together investigators who have a common interest in the development and use of standards and ontologies for functional genomics. The conference provides a unique opportunity for established investigators and students to interact and exchange ideas regarding shared tools and procedures for the functional annotation of genomes and phenotypes; particularly relevant in light of the continued release of new genome sequences, the shared use of high-throughput experimental techniques, the impact of molecular biology on biomedicine, and the importance of comparative genomics in the investigation of human biology and disease. The conference aims to promote and maintain shared annotation systems in the genomics and bioinformatics communities, and to provide standards and ontologies to facilitate the exchange of information by computers and computation analysis applications. Toward this end, students and established investigators from different areas of computer science, experimental biology, and bioinformatics will have an opportunity to share new ideas, demonstrate new tools and applications, and identify potential collaborations. Sessions will consist of lectures, workshops on various approaches to constructing and maintaining ontologies, an informatics resource demonstration session, a poster session dedicated to evelopments in using ontologies for functional genome annotations, data mining, and knowledge discovery applications. Speaker abstracts will be assembled into a booklet and distributed to the conference participants. Several short talks will be selected from submitted participant abstracts. |
