‘Life’ on earth comprises various types of organic chemical compounds such as nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Recent technological advances, including next-generation sequencers and mass spectrometers, provide comprehensive data on genomics, transcriptome, proteomics, and metabolomics from cells or tissues. Although data are easily available, interpreting the data from each ‘Omics’ remains a challenge in deciphering the complete picture of ‘The Cell’.
A novel approach is required to integrate the versatile ‘Omics’ data to elucidate complicated and precise mechanisms in higher eukaryotes, which may facilitate understanding human diseases caused by their transition from the reversible to irreversible stages.
In this workshop, prominent experimental researchers and bioinformatists from different ‘Omics’ fields have come together and would like to share and discuss the use of multi-spectrum integration of the ever-changing materials in cells.
