Description
The prevalence of -omics data is steadily increasing within the biological and ecological sciences, and it is widely accepted within the community that data is published open access alongside journal articles. Consequently, this provides mechanistic modellers with a wealth of accessible data with which to parameterise and validate models. However, understanding the complexities of this data and how to process and make use of it with mechanistic models is not straightforward. In this minisymposia, we will hear from researchers across a range of biological mathematics application areas who are making use of this data within their research activities.
The goal of this minisymposia is twofold. Firstly, to provide an opportunity for those who already use, or are starting to use, -omics data with mechanistic models to make connections with other established researchers in the area. Secondly, to provide anyone who has an interest in the use of this data an understanding of the considerations required for its use. We ask each speaker to cover both their approach to processing the data and how they then use it for their application in order to best facilitate these two goals.
