Biomedical informatics and granularity

An explicit formal-ontological representation of entities existing at multiple levels of granularity is an urgent requirement for biomedical information processing. We discuss some fundamental principles which can form a basis for such a representation. We also comment on some of the implicit treatments of granularity in currently available ontologies and terminologies (GO, FMA, SNOMED CT).

Biomedical informatics and granularity: Conference Papers

This conference brought the microbial genomics community together to share their most up-to-the-minute achievements, so much so that several talks cannot be covered here, as the work discussed has not yet been published. This meeting report has details of a cross-section of the talks from the sessions on ‘Genome analysis and comparative genomics’, ‘Computational genomics’ and ‘Functional genomics’, ranging from studies on complex environmental samples, to specific pathogenic bacteria, to yeasts.
