A systems-level understanding of gene-regulation programs requires the synthesis of biological computational mathematical and engineering approaches. One aim of a recent meeting on gene expression at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was to promote this synthesis by bringing together experimentalists and computational biologists with a common interest in studying the organization and control of expression in complex biological systems. The presentations largely focused on identification and analysis of protein-DNA interactions the discovery of cis-regulatory motifs and the application of systems approaches to the study of post-transcriptional processes. Here we report on some of the remarkable experimental and computational advances in understanding gene regulation discussed at the meeting.

Studying genome occupancy and protein-DNA interactions Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed either by DNA hybridization to microarrays ChIP-chip or by DNA sequencing of paired end tags ChIP-PET are two widely used approaches to map protein interactions with the genome. One focus of the meeting was on the data obtained from these genome-occupancy studies. Several presentations showed that researchers are expanding the analysis of genome occupancy to tissue and .
