The 6th ORFeome Meeting: ORFeomes and Systems

描述(由申请人提供)：一年一度的ORFeome会议提供了一个亲密的场所，促进研究人员之间的开放式科学交流，他们的共同兴趣集中在研究生物系统中分子过程的全球方法上。将功能基因组技术、实验应用、生物信息学和网络理论的领先创新者聚集在一起，讨论这些领域的挑战并分享前沿发展，会议成为思想交流的纽带，并刺激具有互补专业领域的个人和团体之间的新合作努力。ORFeome会议最初是一次非正式聚会，目的是将参与开发线虫生物学ORFeome和酵母双杂交项目的合作者聚集在一起，随着该领域的科学成熟，ORFeome会议有了很大的发展。ORFeome会议既保持了最初几次会议成功所固有的轻松、随和的氛围，又保持了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，可以就最新的实验和理论方法以及所获得的结果交流想法和进展，以深入了解作为相互连接的功能模块、集成网络和全球系统的生物过程。通过开发改进的方法来模拟分子系统的组织和动力学，并将关于模型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，并正在引领生物研究和医学的新的综合方法。

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.
