Workshop on U.S.-Australia Interactions in Bioinformatics, Being held July 10-12, 2000 in Manassas Virginia

美国模式培养库(ATCC)将于7月10日至12日在弗吉尼亚州马纳萨斯的ATCC总部举办一场关于美澳生物信息学相互作用的研讨会。该研讨会由美国国家科学基金会和澳大利亚科学院联合主办，召集了一个由大约40名生物学家和计算机科学家组成的小组，讨论加强美澳在四个主要重点领域的合作：1.微阵列(生物芯片表达数据信息学)2.大型DNA数据库3。生物体的自动识别4。来自生物收集的生物多样性遗产数据预计这次会议将促进研究信息交流，开发新的应用程序，并导致新的合作研究。

The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) hosts a workshop on U.S.-Australia Interactions in Biological Informatics to take place on July 10-12th at the ATCC Headquarters in Manassas, Virginia.This workshop, jointly sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Australian Academy of Science, convenes a panel of about forty biologists and computer scientists to discuss enhancement of U.S.-Australian collaborations in four major focus areas:1. Microarray (biochip expression data informatics)2. Large DNA databases3. Automated identification of organisms4. Biodiversity legacy data from biological collectionsIt is expected that this meeting will foster research information exchange, development of new applications and lead to new collaborative research.
