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.
