The Third International Conference on Bioinformatics and Genome Research at the Augustus B. Turnbull III, Florida State Conference Center, Tallahassee, Fla., June 1-4, 1994

佛罗里达州立大学的超级计算机计算研究所（SCRI）正在组织一次名为“第三届生物信息学和基因组研究国际会议”的会议，会议将于1994年6月1日至4日在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的奥古斯都·b·特恩布尔三世佛罗里达州立会议中心举行。本届会议是中国科学院自1990年创办以来第三届两年一度的会议。第三次会议的目的是提供一个论坛，让来自学术界和工业界的专家，包括年轻的研究人员和学生，可以聚集在一起进行互动。希望这将使他们有机会获得基因组相关领域的信息学、计算和分析技术的范围、方向和未来前景的第一手知识。演讲者和参与者将是来自世界各地的计算专家、实验家和技术专家。会议的跨学科性质旨在：促进各学科之间的思想和信息交流；并导致技术的转移，特别是从学术部门向私营部门的转移。会议的重点将放在基因组和基因组相关分析的计算和实验方面。主题领域包括：核酸和蛋白质序列研究（主席：Andrzej Konopka）；基因调控和代谢的计算/理论综合方法（主席：Collado Vidas）；基因组重排列（主席：Pavel Pevzner）；数据库集成/互操作性（主席：Hwa Lim）；艾滋病毒分子信息学（主席：Hans Sieburg）；语言学方法(主席：Sarah Barron) o通过图形显示理解遗传数据的方法（主席：Janan Eppig） o生物过程的可视化（主席：Heinrich Giese n）。该领域的主要专家已承诺参加，四家出版公司表示有兴趣出版会议记录。这是一项寻求资助的提案，以帮助支持会议演讲者，博士后研究员和学生。

The Supercomputer Computations Research Institute (SCRI) at the Florida State University is organizing a conference entitled "The Third International Conference on Bioinformatics and Genome Research", to be held at the Augustus B. Turnbull III Florida State Conference Center, Tallahassee Florida, from June 1-4, 1994. This conference is the third biennial conference since it was started by SCRI in 1990. The aim of the Third Conference is to provide a forum in which experts from both the academic and industrial sectors, including young researchers and students, can gather to interact. It is hoped that this will afford them an opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the scope, direction, and future prospects of informatics, computing and analysis techniques in genome related areas. Speakers and participants will be computational experts, experimentalists and technologists from around the world. The interdisciplinary nature of the conference is designed to: o foster an exchange of ideas and information among disciplines; and o lead to a transfer of technologies, especially from the academic sector to the private sector. The focus of the conference will be on the computational and experimental aspects of genome and genome-related analyses. The subject areas cover: o Nucleic acid and protein sequence research (Chairperson: Andrzej Konopka) o Computational/theoretical integrative approaches to gene regulation and metabolism (Chairperson: Collado Vidas) o Genome rearrangement (Chairperson: Pavel Pevzner) o Database integration/interoperability (Chairperson: Hwa Lim) o Molecular informatics of HIV (Chairperson: Hans Sieburg) o Linguistics approaches (Chairperson: Sarah Barron) o Methods for understanding genetic data through graphic displays (Chairperson: Janan Eppig) o Visualization of biological processes (Chairperson: Heinrich Giese n). Leading experts in the field have committed to participate, and four publishing companies have expressed interest in publishing the conference proceedings. This is a proposal to seek funding to help support conference speakers, post-doctoral fellows and students.
