Participant Support for Newton Institute Program on Biomolecular Function and Evolution in the Context of the Genome Project

9804739 Kurtz分子生物学家在理解和分析基因组计划产生的大量分子遗传序列和结构时面临的问题提出了一系列具有挑战性的生物数学研究问题。牛顿研究所将举办一个题为“基因组计划背景下的生物分子功能和进化”的项目。这个跨学科的项目，关于分子序列的功能、结构和进化，将汇集数学家和计算机科学家在诸如概率建模、随机过程、几何、统计数据分析、计算复杂性、神经网络、遗传算法和专家系统等学科上的工作，以及在医学和生物领域工作的分子生物学家。该奖项将支持美国研究人员的参与。美国参与者将包括研究生、博士后和高级研究人员。

9804739 Kurtz The problems facing molecular biologists in understanding and analyzing the flood of molecular genetic sequences and structures resulting from the Genome Projects raise a range of challenging biomathematical research questions. The Newton Institute will host a program on "Biomolecular Function and Evolution in the Context of the Genome Project." This inter-disciplinary program, on the function, structure and evolution of molecular sequences, will bring mathematicians and computer scientists working on subjects such as probabilistic modeling, stochastic processes, geometry, statistical data analysis, computational complexity, neural networks, genetic algorithms and expert systems, together with molecular biologists working in medical and biological fields. This award will support participation by US researchers. US participants will include graduate students and postdoctoral and senior researchers.
