TRUE OR FALSE? Something Has To Change
KEY POINTS-DEFINITIONS TO REMEMBER What Is Systems Biology? What Is STRIDE? Prototype for Enabling Researchers Growth in Primate Genomics New Directions through Collaboration Information Overload POST GENOMICS AGE Paradigm Shift-New Vocabulary
Denis Noble: The Music of Life: Biology beyond the Genome Systems biology...is about putting together rather than taking apart, integration rather than reduction. It requires that we develop ways of thinking about integration that are as rigorous as our reductionist programmes, but different...it means changing our philosophy, in the full sense of the term Oxford University Press, (8 Jun 2006)

Focus on Translational Research Taken from the ITHS website T0 is characterized by the identification of opportunities and approaches to health problems. T1 seeks to move basic discovery into a candidate health application. T2 assesses the value of application for health practice leading to the development of evidence-based guidelines. T3 attempts to move evidencebased guidelines into health practice, through delivery, dissemination, and diffusion research. T4 seeks to evaluate the real world health outcomes of population health practice.
New Community Context and Associations NCRR Informatics Initiative to integrate data and information on animal models Enable community to locate, identify, apply most useful animal models Anticipating WaNPRC and our Division as contributors to this effort Extensive knowledge of NHP models of viral diseases Extensive informatics infrastructure Advisory role in planning and resource prioritization Contributing role as generating models and linking to our genomics and other high-throughput data sets.

Current Nonhuman Primate Genomics Efforts - STRIDE Reference RNA SEQ Transcriptome Project Born out of the 4 th International Primate Genomics Conference Collaboration between Industry (ILLUMINA-ABI (?)) and Academic Institutions Leveraging Next Generation Sequencing Technology Multiple tissues from ~12-18 nonhuman primate species of medical and evolutionary importance Data will be accessible by entire research community Genome 10K Project Steve O Brien et al (NCI) The Genome 10K project aims to assemble a genomic zoo a collection of DNA sequences representing the genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species How can we best leverage and intersect these two efforts? With help from STRIDE as a coordinating model, we will establish an international consortium on nonhuman primate genome sequencing
The World of Non- Human Primate Research Has Changed Forever
MOREOVER RUMOR HAS IT.. NHGRI Has Committed to Sequencing 30 Non- Human Primate Genomes?
IF NOT NIH THEN.?????
ALL OF THESE EFFORTS WILL BE GENERATING AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF DATA
Information Overload? New York Times April 2009
High-throughput Technologies are Generating an Unprecedented Amount of DATA How will researchers not currently involved with these technologies access and leverage this DATA? How will we ensure limited amounts of redundancy when generating genomic resources? How can we more quickly translate this DATA in to medical achievements? Role for BIRN? WITH TECHNOLOGY MOVING SO FAST, WE HAVE TO EVOLVE OUR PROCESS AND WAYS OF THINKING TO ACCOMMODATE AND TRANSLATE THE INFORMATION IN TO BETTER HUMAN HEALTH
The STRIDE Centers Goal Is To Enable Those Connections And Provide Access To The Appropriate Tools To achieve a truly systems level view utilizing highthroughput technologies, researchers from diverse backgrounds need to be connected and tools have to be put in place for effective interpretation and communication www.thestridecenter.org
