2003 Computational Genomics Conference

基因组研究所已获得第六届和第七届计算基因组学会议(2003年波士顿计算基因组学会议和2004年巴尔的摩/华盛顿地区计算基因组学会议)的资助。这些会议的目标是将来自世界各地的顶尖科学家聚集在一起，讨论基因组序列分析计算方法的最新进展。这些会议从生物科学家的角度讨论了这些话题，他们试图理解现在可以获得的大量基因组序列和表达数据。会议的目的是为受邀演讲者、从提交的摘要中挑选的演讲者和海报演讲者提供一个论坛，讨论他们的工作和交流想法。这些主题包括基因组学、生物信息学和更广泛的生命科学面临的一些最紧迫的问题。这笔资金将提供学生奖学金，以增加学生参与会议的数量。提高学生的出勤率对年轻科学家的发展和生物信息学领域的未来都是非常有价值的。

The Institute for Genomic Research has been granted funding for the Sixth and Seventh Conferences on Computational Genomics (CG2003 in Boston and CG2004 in the Baltimore/Washington Area). The goal of these conferences is to bring together leading scientists from around the world to discuss the latest advances in computational methods for analysis of genome sequences. The meetings address these topics from the perspective of biological scientists attempting to make sense of the vast quantities of genome sequence and expression data now becoming available. The intent of the meetings is to provide a forum for a combination of invited speakers, speakers selected from submitted abstracts, and poster presenters to discuss their work and exchange ideas. The topics include some of the most pressing issues facing genomics, bioinformatics, and the life sciences more broadly. The funding will provide student fellowships, in order to increase the amount of student participation the meetings. Increased attendance by students is tremendously valuable for the development of younger scientists and for the future of the field of bioinformatics.
