Introduction
Biological data are scattered across hundreds of biological databases and thousands of scientific journals. Current high throughput genomics technologies generate large quantities of high dimensional data. Microarray, NMR, mass spectrometry, protein chips, gel electrophoresis, yeast-two-hybrid, QTL mapping, gene silencing and knockout experiments are all examples of technologies that capture thousands of data points, often in single experiments. The challenge for Integrative Bioinformatics is to capture, model, integrate and analyse these data, often alongside the sequence data, in a consistent way to provide new and deeper insights into complex biological systems. There is a continuing need to get scientists interested in this developing area together to discuss and identify new challenges, and to disseminate novel tools and approaches.
