Workshops 2009
Affinity Proteomics: 4th ESF workshop on Ligand Binders against the Human Proteome
Workshop organisers:
Mike Taussig: Babraham Research Campus, UK
Oda Stoevesandt: Babraham Research Campus, UK
Cheryl Smythe: Babraham Research Campus, UK
The aims will be to review state-of-the-art technologies for European and worldwide affinity proteomics programmes. Previous meetings funded by the ESF Functional Genomics Programme have been highly influential in defining the field, leading to the EC ProteomeBinders coordination action and practically focused follow-on projects, which will all be represented at and co-fund the workshop.

Innovative Mouse Models (IMM2009)
Workshop organisers:
Sjef Verbeek: Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, Netherlands
Jos Jonkers: Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Hein te Riele: Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Paul Krimpenfort: Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Els Robanus-Maandag: Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, Netherlands
Marian van Roon: Amsterdam Medical Center, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Werner Muller: University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
This workshop will bring together a diverse group of scientists interested in genome alteration approaches in the mouse, both key developers of these emerging technologies and researchers who wish to apply and assess these approaches. The workshop will encourage an in-depth and unvarnished discussion of these technologies and novel developments and their applications.

Quest for Orthologs
Workshop organisers:
Erik Sonnhammer: Stockholm Bioinformatics Center, AlbaNova University Center, Stockholm University and Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Michael Ashburner: University of Cambridge, UK
Orthologs are genes in different organisms that originate from a single gene in the last common ancestral species. It is vital to accurately and comprehensively identify orthologs between all organisms that have been completely sequenced, currently some 40 eukaryotes and 400 prokaryotes. This workshop will bring together the main ortholog database providers and model organism databases, with the goal to exchange ideas and improve interoperability between them.

Computational Methods for RNA Analysis
Workshop organisers:
Eric Westhof: University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg and Institut Universitaire de France, France
Elena Rivas: Janelia Farm Research Campus, Ashburn, Virginia, USA
This workshop intends to bring together the most qualified scientists in the field of RNA bioinformatics. The major objective is to discuss the state of RNA computational biology, to identify the needs of the field, and to propose the new algorithms needed to be able to characterise RNA genes.

Quality Control in Proteomics
Workshop organisers:
Lennart Martens : EBI, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK
Henning Hermjakob: EBI, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK
The workshop objective is to assemble a critical mass of international participants from academia,
industry and scientific journals on the topic of quality control procedures for proteomics experiments. A
whitepaper on the state of the art on quality control in proteomics will be delivered, and a Proteomics
Quality Control Consortium will be established to take on the task of creating quality control procedures,
and educating researchers in the field.
