The first International Life Science Integration Workshop was held on 5-9 March 2018 in Tokyo, Japan. This workshop was sponsored by the Glycoinformatics Consortium (GLIC), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the National Bioscience Database Center of Japan (NBDC). The first 2 days of this workshop consisted of a symposium with invited talks from experimentalists and bioinformatics experts in the life sciences. The last 3 days were devoted to a Hackathon to further develop communication between the different software projects and support the integration of different life science domains. This was one of the first meetings where glycomics software developers met with leading proteomics and lipi-domics resource experimentalists, and the hackathon sessions provided a forum to discuss strategies for data integration and improved data interoperability in the life science domain. The results of the workshop are presented here.
