The 2012 virtual symposium is on 24^th October and is on the subject of The Cell Landscape: From Genotype to Phenotype and includes a session on the results of the ENCODE project. *Symposium Overview: * In recent years, new methods and techniques aimed at deciphering the inner workings of cells have provided unique insights, and changed the way we think about, as well as approach, modern cell biology research. With these advances in mind, the 2012 /BioTechniques/ Virtual Symposium will focus directly on the latest approaches being used to characterize cell function and phenotype. From the genetic mechanisms controlling basic cellular processes to understanding how protein production and interactions shape cell structure and function -- this one-day symposium will highlight techniques for teasing apart the genetic, proteomic, and metabolite landscapes of the cell.
