Abstract
Specialty meetings focused on the application of new genomic and proteomic technologies are being held on an increasingly common basis. One might romantically suppose that the genomics bandwagon ought find no better propulsion system than the very engine to which the genome owes it's immortality. And yet, ironically, the field of reproductive biology has been slower to incorporate post-genomic era approaches than many other biological disciplines. Frontiers in Reproduction (FIR), established in 1998, is an international training course held annually at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The 6-week course is focused on techniques and concepts of advanced reproductive biology research, and includes a two-to-three day symposium. that addresses a high emphasis research area. This year?s FIR symposium offered the participants a look at some of the latest developments in the application of genomic and proteomic technologies to reproductive biology.
