Description
 
The functions of uncharacterized proteins have usually been inferred on the basis of sequence similarities, common structural motifs, gene order, gene fusion events, or similarities in gene expression. Recently developed mathematical and computational methods predict function based on the role of genes in networks. These methods allow us to predict functions for proteins independent of homologies in structure or sequence and provide a way to characterize proteins that have not yet been studied, using published biological data from high-throughput technologies.

Biocomplexity Workshop VII will bring together researchers in many disciplines (including experimental and theoretical biology, biophysics, engineering, mathematics and computer science) to discuss current and future problems in the reconstruction, kinetics and function of biological networks. While numerous workshops and scientific meetings have addressed the topology of biological networks, network dynamics and the relation of topology to dynamics, few have focused on the reconstruction of the biochemical networks from experimental data, which is one of the most important problems in this area.
