Deciphering the Data Deluge Discussions
Time has been designated for one hour focus groups centered around specific themes. These moderated discussions encourage brainstorming and interactive problem solving between scientists who share a common interest in the discussion topic. This unique opportunity allows conference participants to focus on a topic in depth to exchange ideas, information, experiences, and develop future collaborations.

Examples of discussion topics from last year’s meeting:

• Pathway analysis using microarray gene expression data
• From fishing with rods to fishing with net(work)s: Accuracy, information content and predictive power of microarray measurements
• Designing effective measures of data quality
• Outliers: error or valid result
• The search for consensus in gene annotation
• Follow-up studies after data clustering

We are seeking hosts and discussion topics - please suggest topics for discussion at this years meeting:
