7th International Symposium on Networks in Bioinformatics (ISNB)</b><br>
Amsterdam, April 22-23, 2010<br>
<br>
The 7th International Symposium on Networks in Bioinformatics (ISNB
2010) is scheduled on 22 and 23 April 2010 and is likely to continue
its success from previous years in bringing different disciplines
together to discuss ongoing research in bioinformatics, systems biology
and biology of networks. The focus of 7th International Symposium on
Networks in Bioinformatics will be on biological networks such as
metabolic networks, signal transduction pathways and genetic regulatory
networks. In addition, we also aim to include topics like modeling of
cells, tissues, gene regulation and biomineralisation. We also want to
invite researchers working on gene networks in plants (e.g.
Arabidopsis) , model organisms such as Drosophila and organisms with a
relatively simple and basal body plan such as sponges and scleractinian
corals. Understanding of these networks is crucial for understanding
molecular and cellular processes in the organism or system under study.
This field is subject of lively research and both experimental and
computational approaches are used to elucidate the biological networks.
The bioinformatics of biological networks involves a broad range of
research and approaches. Research includes the identification of
regulatory elements in DNA, developmental biology, genome context
analysis, modelling and simulation of pathways, reconstruction of
pathways from experimental data, visualization of pathways, and the
representation of pathways in database, graphs and mark-up languages.<br>
