Background
In the genomic era, both basic and clinical research relies heavily on database-supported computational-assisted bioinformatics. Integrating our knowledge about disease phenotypes and finding preventive and treatment interventions post great challenges for bioinformatics. During the 2006 Bioinformatics Summit meeting, we reviewed many bioinformatics programs funded by the National Institute of Allergy andInfectious Diseases (NIAID), Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation (DAIT). We identified several areas of potential collaborations, synergy and reusable resources within the different DAIT funded bioinformatics and data management programs. In the 2007 Summit, we focused our discussion on the bioinformatics challenges on data reusability and secondary data analysis.
The main goals of the summit in 2008 are to:
- Identify challenges to knowledge integration
- Identify challenges to integrating variety of data types in gene regulatory networks, pathways, genetic variations, quantitative phenotypes, mathematical modeling
- Review data integration challenges in systems approaches to personalized medicine
- Review alternative data management architectures to integrate our knowledge of both basic andclinical research.
