Symposium
Integrative Bioinformatics 

Bielefeld, Germany, August 4th - 5th, 2003   

http://cweb.uni-bielefeld.de/agbi/home/index.html?id=142

Molecular biology produces huge amounts of data in the
post-genomic era. Among them, there is data describing
metabolic mechanisms and pathways, structural genomic
organization, patterns of regulatory regions;
proteomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics data. On
one hand, analysis of these data is determined
essentially by the methods and concepts of computer
science; on the other hand, it depends on a range of
biological tasks solved by researchers. Currently,
there are about 400 database informational systems and
various analytical tools available via the Internet
and directed at solving various biological tasks. The
challenge we have is to integrate these list-parts
> from genomics and proteomics at novel levels of
understanding. Integrative Bioinformatics would be
this new area of research using the tools of computer
science and electronic infrastructure applied to
Biotechnology. These tools will also represent the
backbone of the concept of virtual cell. 
This symposium addresses primarily the scientists
working in this emerging field of Integrative
Bioinformatics and, hence, would discuss the
corresponding problems and present concepts. Besides
invited talks, we would like to invite all researchers
interested in these problems and active participation
in this symposium. The number of participants will be
restricted.
