The 6th ORFeome Meeting: ORFeomes and Systems

描述（由申请人提供）：ORFeome年度会议提供了一个亲密的场所，促进研究人员之间的开放科学交流，他们的共同兴趣集中在生物系统中分子过程研究的全球方法。会议汇集了功能基因组技术、实验应用、生物信息学和网络理论领域的领先创新者，讨论挑战并分享这些领域的前沿发展，为具有互补专业领域的个人和团体之间的思想交流和刺激新的合作努力提供了纽带。ORFeome会议最初是一个非正式的聚会，汇集了参与开发ORFeome和酵母双杂交项目的秀丽隐杆线虫生物学的合作者，随着该领域的科学成熟而不断发展。ORFeome会议保持了前几届会议成功所固有的轻松、随和的氛围，以及最初对技术和资源开发的关注，现在已经发展成为一个令人兴奋和充满活力的论坛，在最新的实验和理论方法上交流思想和进展，并获得深入了解生物过程作为相互关联的功能模块、集成网络和全球系统的结果。通过开发改进的方法来模拟分子系统的组织和动力学，并将关于模式生物的知识转化为人类生物学，这些集体努力正在改变我们对生物过程的看法，并引领着生物研究和医学的新综合方法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The annual ORFeome meeting provides an intimate venue to foster open scientific exchange between researchers whose mutual interests focus on global approaches to the study of molecular processes in biological systems. Bringing together leading innovators in functional genomic technologies, experimental applications, bioinformatics, and network theory to discuss challenges and share cutting-edge developments in these areas, the meeting serves as a nexus for cross-fertilization of ideas and stimulation of new collaborative efforts between individuals and groups with complementary realms of expertise. The ORFeome meeting, which originated as an informal gathering to bring together collaborators involved in developing ORFeome and yeast two-hybrid projects for C. elegans biology, has evolved substantially alongside the scientific maturation of the field. While maintaining both the relaxed, easy-going atmosphere intrinsic to the success of the first few gatherings, as well as its original focus on technology and resource development, the ORFeome meeting has now evolved into an exciting and dynamic forum to exchange ideas and progress on the most current experimental and theoretical approaches, and the results obtained to gain insight into biological processes as interconnected functional modules, integrated networks, and global systems. Through the development of improved methods to model the organization and dynamics of molecular systems, and to translate knowledge about model organisms to human biology, these collective efforts are transforming how we think about biological processes and are leading the way toward a new integrative approach to biological research and medicine.
