This two-day meeting, attended by approximately 60 delegates, was aimed at researchers in the proteomics field. The proteome is defined as the entire protein content of the cell. Proteomics is the analysis of the end-product of gene expression and all regulations governing gene expression are taken into account, ie, transcriptional and translational. The three stages involved in proteomic analysis are: a separation phase, ie, two dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis; a characterization phase, ie, mass spectrometry; and, a data analysis phase, ie, bioinformatics.
