Welcome!
Systems biology research is rapidly expanding as a result of large increases in genome sequencing capacity. Industry indicators signal the potential for billions of dollars in productivity in the coming years. This expansion will bring new opportunities for scientists and researchers trained not only in genomics but also in proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics. Sustainable agriculture will require advances in agricultural genomics to answer the needs of an increasing world population and its demands for increased global food production.

The Center for Integrated BioSystems, in collaboration with the Inland Northwest Research Alliance (INRA), is pleased to present the First Annual Intermountain Systems Biology Symposium. The symposium will focus on recent developments in animal, plant, and microbial systems biology. Presentations and discussions will focus on utilization of functional genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioinformatics data and will discuss application of such data in industrial processes and products.
The session on animal genomics will highlight the biochemical pathways that regulate important traits and studies of genes that regulate these pathways. Animal cloning and nuclear transfer investigations are expected to provide innovative solutions to problems in productivity and disease control.
The powerful tools of genomics and proteomics are paving the way to explore basic questions of plant growth and development pathways. Presentations in this session will highlight research efforts to utilize plant genomics on agriculturally important plant varieties.
The session on microbial genomics will emphasize microbial sequencing for generating new and testable hypotheses related to pathogenic and fermentation organisms. New tools and applications related to microbial biodiversity and the impact of environmental adaptation on microbial populations will be among the topics of discussion.
