Systems Biology and Metabolomics

["The programme focuses on the reprogramming mechanisms of the metabolism in association with transcriptional, metabolomic, physiological, phenotypic, or behavioural changes including disease development. Current techniques of metabolomics and bioanalytics, including quantitative metabolite analysis methods (chromatography, mass spectrometry) are applied for comprehensive gene function analysis or stress response analysis. Bioinformatics and complex computational approaches yield insights into the field of computational biology and metabolic networks.In particular, advances and current results of systems biology are discussed including bioinformatics (genome and sequence analysis, protein domains, or protein families) and large-scale data analysis (e.g. next generation sequences, proteomics data). Moreover, systems biology analyses dynamics and effects of different functional RNAs (e.g. miRNAs, lncRNAs), modelling in functional genomics, and the dynamics of the transcriptome and of metabolism. Finally, metabolic networks and their integration with regulatory networks are investigated and discussed."]
