Overview
Biology is entering a new phase of discovery, focusing on global and systems-level views to identify the mechanisms that transform genomic information into diverse cellular and organismal phenotypes. This conference explores state-of-the-art approaches to diverse topics involving genomic approaches, such as diversity of neurons in the brain, cell systems associated with cancer, biodiversity, and biofuels development.
