2012 International Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics (IB2012)

  International Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics (IB2012)

The 8th annual meeting

2nd-4th April, 2012, Hangzhou, China

The 2012 International Symposium on Integrative Bioinformatics (IB2012) will be held in April 2012 at Hangzhou, China.

    Biological data are scattered across thousands of biological databases and hundreds 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 eighth meeting on Integrative Bioinformatics will be of interest to Bioinformaticians, Computer Scientists and interested in finding out more about, the developing area of integrative bioinformatics. There will be opportunities to present and discuss methods, theoretical approaches, and their practical applications.
