The BITS committee will organize a workshop on tools for meta data association of OMICS data.

It will take place at CompOMICS on February 5th from 9 AM to 5 PM.

The colleagues from ISA will present their tools in the morning session. In the afternoon, we will discuss on the potential for metadata tracking of OMICS data at VIB.

If you are interested in participating please send us an email.

A new whitepaper has been published on Parkinson's Disease as a model to demonstrate Genvestigator (Genvestigator) and IPA integration (IPA).

BITS will participate at a round table day on Data Mining for Material Sciences which takes place on January 19th 2015.

It is organized by Flamac - a division of SIM, Ghent.
