Inundated With Data: The "-OMICS" Problem

Organized by: Karin D. Rodland, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Valda Vinson, AAAS Science magazine


Saturday, 19 February 2005
8:00AM–3:30PM

Sponsored by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

High-throughput biology -- the newest technical trend in the life sciences -- has as much potential to change research as the recombinant biology revolution of the 1970s and 1980s. The "-omics" explosion simply reflects the capturing of data on all the different molecules that can now be measured accurately and rapidly: genes, mRNA, proteins, metabolites, sugars, lipids, and more. But what do you do with all these data once you have them? Technological challenges exist around determining the quality of the data, storing and transmitting them, and integrating data types. But even more important are the practical issues that are at the heart of systems biology. What new insights do these large data sets provide? Will we ever know completely the workings of a single cell, let alone predict its response to change? High-throughput biology provides the tools needed to unlock the answers to these questions. This seminar will explore critical issues and questions.
