Meeting Review: ESF Workshop on ‘Impact of Nucleic Acid Chemistry on Gene Function Analysis: Antisense, Aptamers, Ribozymes and RNAi’

The shortage of functional information compared to the abundance of sequence information characterizes today’s situation in functional genomics. For many years the knock-down of a gene’s product has been the most powerful way of analysing its function. In addition to the complete knock-out by homologous recombination, several different techniques have been developed to temporarily knock down ge...

ESF Programme on ‘Integrated Approaches for Functional Genomics’ Workshop on ‘Modelling of Molecular Networks’

The rapid pace of genome sequencing and new high-throughput methods are offering an unprecedented opportunity for investigating how individual genes and gene products cooperate to build up complex cellular structures and perform elaborate processes that enable cells and organisms to live and reproduce. The diagrams of cell regulatory networks that are being produced look increasingly complex, a...

A Special Section of Articles From the ESF Programme on Functional Genomics Workshop: ‘Data Integration in Functional Genomics and Proteomics: Application to Biological Pathways’

ESF is the European association of 76 major national funding agencies devoted to scientific research in 29 countries. It represents all scientific disciplines: physical and engineering sciences, life and environmental sciences, medical sciences, humanities and social sciences. The Foundation assists its Member Organisations in two main ways. It brings scientists together in its EUROCORES (ESF C...

Announcement: Metal Ions in Biological Systems, EUROBIC II

EUROBIC is the European Bioinorganic Chemistry Conference and is organized by scientists from several European countries. This is the second edition of a biennial series on Metal Ions in Biological Systems. The conference is organized with the goal to overcome the scientific barriers among the European scientists and to develop and reinforce European scientific interactions. On the occasion of ...
