Pathway analysis has become the first choice for gaining insight into the underlying biology of differentially expressed genes and proteins, as it reduces complexity and has increased explanatory power. We discuss the evolution of knowledge base–driven pathway analysis over its first decade, distinctly divided into three generations. We also discuss the limitations that are specific to each generation, and how they are addressed by successive generations of methods. We identify a number of annotation challenges that must be addressed to enable development of the next generation of pathway analysis methods. Furthermore, we identify a number of methodological challenges that the next generation of methods must tackle to take advantage of the technological advances in genomics and proteomics in order to improve specificity, sensitivity, and relevance of pathway analysis.

SHORT TERM TRAINING COURSE on COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 02-03 March, 2012 At Bioinformatics Centre Department of Agricultural Biotechnology CSK HP Agricultural University Palampur- 176 062 (HP) SPONSORED BY Department of Biotechnology(DBT) Government of India, New Delhi THEME Genomes of several plants and organisms have been sequenced, thereby resulting in the accumulation of large amount of sequence data in databases. The ‘omics’ technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics, etc., are all resulting in the generation of large data sets. The outcome from all these technologies is central to the improvement of genomes of economically important crops, microbes and animals. The processing of enormous biological information generated by these novel technologies requires fast and high capacity computational and storage media. Retrieval of sequence information and analysis need sophisticated programmes which can be distribu...

OMICS Publishing Group invites you to attend the   International Conference & Exhibition on Proteomics & Bioinformatics  which is going to be held on January 27-29, 2011 in Hyderabad, India.   We welcome all the participants from across the globe to take part in this event. International Conference & Exhibition on Proteomics & Bioinformatics   will schedule and coordinate all meetings with our U.S and Indian organizers and representatives.  International Conference & Exhibition on Proteomics & Bioinformatics   will serve as a catalyst for the advancement of   Proteomics & Bioinformatics   by connecting scientists within and across disciplines at conferences and exhibitions held at venues that create an environment conducive to information exchange, generation of new ideas and acceleration of applications that benefit society. The previous conference has played a leading role in facilitating interaction between resea...

First the genome; now the proteome. China has already established a leading position in DNA sequencing through the work of the  BGI  in Shenzhen (formerly the Beijing Genomics Institute), which has been generating eye-catching genomics discoveries for the past few years (see  Nature  464,  22–24; 2010 ). This week, Chinese researchers are set to announce initiatives that could put them at the forefront of international efforts to catalogue and characterize all proteins in the human body. Inspired by the Human Genome Project, protein researchers worldwide have been seeking funds to build a full catalogue of human proteins — a proteome — which, they say, will explain how the information encoded in our genomes can give rise to normal and diseased states. his January, the  Human Proteome Organization  (HUPO) in Montreal, Canada, took the first steps towards an international effort. It set up the Human Proteome Project (HPP) working group to coordinat...
