*** 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. TOPICS Database Integration Combined dry and wetlab studies Molecular Databases / Data Warehouses Errors and inconsistencies in biological databases Prediction and Integration of Metabolic and Regulatory Networks Genotype – phenotype linkage Protein-Protein-Interactions Microarray Modeling and Analyses Integrative Approaches for Drug Design Computational Infrastructure for Biotechnology Virtual Cell Modeling Gene Identification, Regulation and Expression Identification of Gene Regulatory Networks Computational Systems Biology Computational Proteomics Optimization of Workflow Management in Bioinformatics Bio Ontologies Quality and consistency of ontologies Integrative modeling and simulation frameworks Integrative data and text mining approaches INVITED SPEAKERS 1st Speaker: Dr Steve Gardner, Chief Technology Officer, Biowisdom, UK "Semantic Integration, SRS and the Meaning of Life (Sciences)" 2nd Speaker: Dr Gunaretnam Rajagopal, Deputy Director, Bioinformatics Institute, Singapore 3rd Speaker: Dr Tom Oinn, Taverna project leader, EBI 4th Speaker: to be announced IMPORTANT DATES (please note that the dates were revised!!!)
