organised by Peter Meinicke and Thomas Lingner
Metagenomics has become a powerful tool for exploring ecosystems in terms of the overall genomic potential of the associated biological entities. The integration of data from metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics and meta-metabolomics has extended metagenomic research to a full systems biology approach.
In this workshop we want to bring together bioinformaticians and biologists interested in discussing recent progress and challenges in computational analysis of metagenomes. We welcome contributions from all related fields that show difficulties and possible solutions in the processing of meta-omics data.
The workshop takes place on 10 September 2013 on Göttingen's North Campus, lecture hall HS2 at the Faculty of Physics.
