-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Systems Biology and New Sequencing Technologies (SBNST 2010), 16-18 June 2010, Barcelona Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:29:12 +0100 From: Blanka Wysocka <blanka.wysocka@crg.es> To: Blanka Wysocka <blanka.wysocka@crg.es> Dear friend/colleague, I would like to draw your attention to the conference on "Systems Biology and New Sequencing Technologies" (SBNST 2010), 16-18 June 2010, Barcelona (Spain). It is organized by Gustavo Stolovitzky (IBM Research, USA), Raul Rabadan (Columbia University, USA), Pascal Kahlem (European Bioinformatics Institute, UK), Roderic Guigó (CRG, Barcelona, Spain) and Luis Serrano (CRG, Barcelona, Spain). We will focus on the parallel advances in two relatively disconnected areas of science that are boosting our understanding of biological systems. On the one hand, systems biology, with its integration of high-throughput biological data and its emphasis on quantitative modeling and simulation, is providing a global perspective of biology that goes beyond classical reductionist approaches. On the other hand, new sequencing technologies are developing at an enormous speed, and provide whole genome data that revealed previously unexplored genomic features such as functional intergenic regions, copy number variations and other genomic differences between members of the same species. In this meeting, we will gather an inter-disciplinary group of scientists with roots in these two disciplines with the aim to create a forum to discuss new ideas and explore what lies in overlap between these two growing fields. You can find more information on the web page of the Symposium (www.enfin.org/sbnst) and in the poster enclosed.
