Dear colleagues, You are cordially invited to attend the free mini symposium on “Bridging the gap between two omics worlds: transcriptomics and proteomics", which will take place on November 29th, at Ghent University, Rommelaere Institute - Auditorium 1.39, A. Baertsoenkaai 3, 9000 GENT. Three (inter)national speakers will discuss, each from a different perspective, how the transcriptomics and proteomics worlds can be brought together: (1) Integration of high-throughput RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics in the cancer research, (2) Integration of the new ribosome profiling technique (sequencing of ribosome protected mRNA) and MS-based proteomics and (3) ways to boost the MS identification rate, based on machine learning, necessary due to the increased (RNA-seq derived) sequence search space. For more details about the program, I refer to the attachment. Please, feel free to spread this announcement in your department or to forward it to anyone who you think may be interested. Registration is free, but required. Registration is possible until Monday, November 25th. To do so, send an E-mail message to Gerben.Menschaert@Ugent.be. Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Sincerely, Gerben Menschaert dr. ir.
