Autarchy of the Private Cave

It has been quite a time since my last serious and long post. On the one hand, summer is vacations time - so I’ve been to one in Turkey; on the other hand - the long-awaited ICSB-2008 conference finally took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, on August 23-27 (or 22-28, counting in tutorials and workshops).

Synopsis: in this post I present a personal-perspective report on the 9th ICSB (with a condensed ICSB-2008 photo-report in my gallery).

Just made it up for convenience, stimulated by reading workshop descriptions for the upcoming ICSB 2008 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Here is formal definition:

high-throughputomics

the term is used to denote/mention any or all of the modern high-throughput techniques (in all of, but not limited to: genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, …), together with derived/applicable data-processing approaches. All the “networks” things also conveniently fall into the high-throughputomics definition

As this is a general term, it might be even suitable as a conference title (but NOT for ICSB, which I’m waiting for eagerly).

For a shorter and informal (spoken-only) term, putomics can be used:

putomics

spoken-only, informal short form of high-throughputomics

Putomics is also conveniently similar to “computation” (computomics):

computomics

application of computer hardware and software for the analysis of massive amounts of data, obtained using high-throughput methods; this is a research sub-field of high-throughputomics
