Download FaceBase 2 Opening Remarks

FaceBase: an NIDCR–funded resource
for the craniofacial research community
• Promotes multidisciplinary collaboration and research
in craniofacial development, molecular genetics,
and genomics
• Works to integrate genomic and phenotype data from
multiple species
• Includes research on the developmental biology and
genetics of a variety of craniofacial structures
• Provides large datasets to members of the research
community for use in their own projects

Common and important issues to consider:
1. To build multi-dimensional molecular anatomy
How do we connect our data back to anatomy (4D)?
How can we combine imaging, gene expression,
enhancer, epigenetic and other data to gain new insights?
2. To bring computer scientists and computational
biologists to fill gaps in our data
How can we leverage advances in pattern recognition and
machine learning?
3. To build a comprehensive molecular atlas for the
entire body
