The ProkaGENOMICS conference series has been launched already in 2003 when the genomics revolution was still in its infancy. At present, the increasing power of high-throughput technologies drives research in microbiology. The OMICS-technologies have become the new mantra in functional microbial genomics, allowing the simultaneous examination of thousands of genes, transcripts, proteins, or metabolites. These powerful tools yielded completely new scientific objectives, e.g. monitoring microbial community dynamics as well as comprehensive cellular processes under a wide range of different conditions. ProkaGENOMICS 2017 will address this challenging field of microbiology.
The main conference topics will be:

• Towards Biotechnology: Metabolic Modeling & Genome/Enzyme Engineering
• Systems and Synthetic Biology
• Omics at its best: Global Gene Regulation & Proteome Dynamics
• MetaOmics & Microbial Ecosystems
• Infectiongenomics & Host Microbe Interplay
• Microbial Evolution, Population Genomics & Epidemiology
• Microbiome Host Interaction
• Functional Phage Genomics

A panel of nationally and internationally well-recognized speakers, both from Germany and abroad, will present and discuss the latest developments in the above-mentioned fields. ProkaGENOMICS 2017 will be the perfect occasion to exchange and discuss new knowledge and technologies with the best international researchers in this exciting field of microbiology.
