Today’s biology is largely data-driven, thanks to high-throughput technologies that allow investigating molecular and cellular aspects of life on large scales. These technologies comprise, for instance, microarrays, next-generation sequencers, mass spectrometers, or interaction screens, provide a big body of data. Making biological sense out of the amount of produced data requires their interpretation in the context of biological networks that govern cellular and physiological processes. The goal of BioNetVisA workshop is to bring together the different actors of network biology: database providers, experimental biologists and clinicians involved in systems biology approaches, as well as computational biologists involved in data analysis and modeling. The participants will be exposed to the paradigms of network biology and the latest achievements in the field. The BioNetVisA workshop also aims at identifying bottlenecks and proposing short- and long-term objectives for the community as discussing questions about accessibility of available tools for wide range of user in every-day standalone application in biological and clinical labs.
