Nowadays increasing numbers of complete genomic sequences are available and high-throughput methods have been developed to study gene expression (transcriptomics), proteins (proteomics) and metabolite levels (metabolomics). Statistical analysis of these large data sets is non-trivial since in many cases the number of genes/metabolites outweighs the number of samples by hundred or thousand folds.

Seminars in August and September 2010

A new serie of seminars (Seminar Series Plant Sciences) started in September 2009. These seminars (two per time) are presented every second Tuesday each month.

The Seminar Series Wageningen Evolution and Ecology Seminars (WEES) is organized every month. The aim of the series is to organize a continuing series of stimulating lectures on contemporary topics in evolution and ecology that are of interest to a broad audience.
