Abstract

The North German Center of Microbial Genomics will revive this successful conference series devoted to all aspects of microbial genomics, one of the most rapidly evolving fields in molecular life sciences. The increasing power of high-throughput technologies now allows simultaneous examination of thousands of genes, transcripts, proteins, and metabolites. These so-called Omics technologies have become the new mantra in microbial genomics. They are powerful tools that allow monitoring of regulatory processes genome-wide under hundreds of different conditions, even single-cell analyses are becoming possible. The ProkaGENOMICS conference will address this challenging field of microbiology. The topics of the conference will be as follows: - Microbial Genomics in Biotechnology & Industry - Microbial Communities & MetaOmics - Functional Genomics of Infectious Diseases - Host Microbe Interplay - Global Gene Regulation & Proteome Dynamics - Systems Biology  & Single Cell Genomics - Synthetic Biology ProkaGENOMICS will be the perfect occasion for scientists from Germany and abroad to exchange and discuss new knowledge and technologies with the best international researchers in this exciting field of microbiology.
