Imaging genomics is an emerging research field, where integrative analysis of imaging and omics data is performed to provide new insights into the phenotypic characteristics and genetic mechanisms of normal and/or disordered biological structures and functions, and to impact the development of new diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive approaches. The Imaging Genomics Session at PSB 2017 aims to encourage discussion on fundamental concepts, new methods and innovative applications in this young and rapidly evolving field.
