IN SILICO BIOLOGY--GENOMES TO STRUCTURE TO FUNCTION

为期两天半的会议将把年轻和 强化项目生物信息学方面的资深研究人员 包括20次全体会议、40张海报演示文稿和软件 示威游行。1998年的会议议程将涉及基因发现。 以及蛋白质结构和功能预测领域以及快速 比较基因组学的发达领域。会议的形式是 在1997年亚特兰大“硅学基因发现”会议上进行了测试 (http://intron.biology.gatech.edu/克斯特亚/会议)。这个 与会者的答复表明(见下文)1997年会议 提供了一个极好的机会来了解 并在不同研究领域的科学家之间交流思想 文化。1998年的会议定于11月5日至8日举行。二 预计未来两年还会有更多关于同一主题的会议： 1999年11月4日至7日和2000年11月9日至12日。参加人数为180人。 1997年。我们预计1998年这一数字至少为200人。我们会 希望1999年和2000年的参会人数保持在200人左右。 会议地点是佐治亚州亚特兰大的文艺复兴酒店。这个 文艺复兴酒店位于佐治亚州附近的市中心地区，交通便利 科技以及亚特兰大附近的1996年奥运会举办地。从 前台、午餐和晚餐区，位于25层，您可以 无论白天还是晚上，您都可以欣赏到亚特兰大的美景。交通运输 因为酒店位于地铁站附近(20分钟车程)，所以很容易 从亚特兰大机场站出发)。该空间包括一间会议室，可 最多容纳300名参与者，以及用于海报会议和 电脑演示。

The two and a half days conference would bring together young and experienced researchers in Bioinformatics for intensive program including 20 plenary talks, 40 poster presentations and software demonstrations. The 1998 conference agenda will cover gene discovery and protein structure and function prediction areas as well as rapidly developed area of comparative genomics. The conference format was tested in 1997 Atlanta "Gene Discovery in silico" conference (http://intron.biology.gatech.edu/ kostya /conference). The participants responds have shown (see below) that the 1997 conference provided an excellent opportunity to learn on the latest progress in the field and to exchange ideas between scientists from different research cultures. The 1998 conference is supposed to be held on Nov 5-8. Two more conferences on the same topic are projected for the next two years: Nov 4-7, 1999 and Nov 9-12, 2000. The number of participants was 180 in 1997. We expect this number to be at least 200 in 1998. We would like to keep the number of participant close to 200 in 1999 and 2000. The conference site is the Renaissance Hotel in Atlanta, GA. The Renaissance Hotel is conveniently located in Midtown area near Georgia Tech as well as near Atlanta 1996 Olympic games sites. From the reception, lunch and dinner area, located at the 25th floor one could enjoy a stunning view of Atlanta either day or night. Transportation is easy since the Hotel is situated near subway station (20 minutes ride from Atlanta airport station). The space includes a Conference room able to host up to 300 participants, and rooms for poster sessions and computer demonstrations.
