DESCRIPTION:Educators:\nDirk Benndorf (BiGi / MetaProtServ)\, Thilo Muth\n\
 nDate:\n16.09.2019\n\nLocation:\nGerman Cancer Research Center\nIm Neuenhe
 imer Feld 280\n69120 Heidelberg\nGermany\n\nContents:\nThe field of microb
 iome research starts to investigate microbial functions in relation to dys
 biosis (i.e. the unbalanced composition of the microbiome) being associate
 d with health disorders and disease states. While many microbiome studies 
 mainly rely on genome-based analyses\, the integration of meta-omics data 
 at the gene\, transcript\, protein and metabolite level is a holistic appr
 oach that extends the capabilities of microbiome studies. However\, the po
 tential of integrative meta-omics has not been fully exploited so far. An 
 important reason is that bioinformatics methods are developed by different
  research communities. This limits the exchange of ideas and transfer of m
 ethods between researchers across different omics fields.\n\nIn this works
 hop\, we want to bring together bioinformaticians and researchers working 
 in meta-omics and microbiome-focused disciplines. The meta-omics workshop 
 aims to:\n(i) provide a platform of presenting new algorithms and software
  tools for integrative multi-omics approaches or related single omics tech
 nology\n(ii) stimulate discussions on challenges and open questions\n(iii)
  help exchanging ideas on bioinformatics methods\n(iv) identify what is cu
 rrently lacking for integrative omics in microbiome research\n\nAbstract p
 roposals for oral presentations (15 min talk + 5 min discussion) of tools\
 , methods or open problems can be submitted until July 31\, 2019\n\nDraft 
 schedule:\n\n    • Abstract deadline for open speaker slots: July 31\, 2
 019\n    • Response to applications for speaker slots: August 20\, 2019\
 n    • Each talk is limited to 15 minutes and additional 5 minutes of di
 scussion for each talk. Coffee break of 15 minutes after the first half of
  the workshop. Final plenary discussion (20 minutes).\n    • Proposed ti
 me schedule: 13.30 – 16.30\n\n\nLearning goals:\nIn this workshop\, we w
 ant to bring together bioinformaticians and researchers working in meta-om
 ics and microbiome-focused disciplines.\n\nPrerequisites:\nRegistration on
  GCB 2019. Abstract proposals for oral presentations (15 min talk + 5 min 
 discussion) of tools\, methods or open problems can be submitted until Jul
