Recognizing Genes and other Components of Genomic Structure:Proposal for a Workshop to be held May 28 - June 15, 1990

一个为期三周的研讨会，每次约有20名居民参加，将讨论当前的需求和未来的策略，以发展识别和预测在测序上复杂功能单位的存在，但其他方面未表征的基因组DNA。该重点将解决基于计算的自动化工具的需求，用于将有关单个共识序列和局部组合模式的可用数据合成为复合对象（例如，基因），这些复合实体是扫描DNA序列时真正感兴趣的对象。研讨会的目的是促进分子生物学家、计算机科学家和数学家之间持续的非正式接触和专业知识交流。没有人会待少于一周，大多数人会待两到三周。计算机、软件和数据库将可用作“电子黑板”。

A three-week workshop, involving about 20 residents at any one time, will discuss current needs and future strategies for developing the ability to identify and predict the presence of complex functional units on sequenced, but otherwise uncharacterized, genomic DNA. This focus will address the need for computation-based, automatic tools for synthesizing available data about individual consensus sequences and local compositional patterns into the composite objects (e.g., genes) that are -- as composite entities -- the true objects of interest when scanning DNA sequences. The workshop has been structured to promote sustained informal contact and exchange of expertise between molecular biologists, computer scientists,and mathematicians. No participant will stay for less than one week, and most will attend for two-three weeks. Computers, software, and databases will be available for use as "electronic blackboards."
