*** FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS - PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE JUNE 5 ***
3rd Integrative Bioinformatics Workshop
September 4-6, 2006
Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
http://www.rothamsted.bbsrc.ac.uk/bab/conf/ibiof/
Accepted papers will also appear in the Journal of Integrative
Bioinformatics http://journal.imbio.de/
DESCRIPTION
Biological data are scattered across hundreds of biological databases and
thousands of scientific journals. Current high throughput genomics
technologies generate large quantities of high dimensional data.
Microarray, NMR, mass spectrometry, protein chips, gel electrophoresis
data, Yeast-Two-Hybrid, QTL mapping, gene silencing and knockout
experiments are all examples of technologies that capture thousands of data
points, often in single experiments. The challenge for Integrative
Bioinformatics is to capture, model, integrate and analyse these data in a
consistent way to provide new and deeper insights into complex biological
systems.
This, third workshop on Integrative Bioinformatics will be of interest to
Bioinformaticians, Computer Scientists and others working in, or interested
in finding out more about, the developing area of integrative
bioinformatics. There will be opportunities to present and discuss methods,
theoretical approaches or their practical applications.
