PROTOTYPE GENOME INFORMATICS SYSTEMS

基因组组织的分析需要一种设备， 生物学家逻辑地操纵复杂的相互关联的信息 若有所思成立了一个协作工作组， 探索新的硬件和软件技术， 基因组信息的分析。这个小组的目标是 将逻辑编程应用于原型分析的开发， 生物系统的模拟系统。一系列合作访问 和研讨会已被用来确定三个领域的合作， 研究：1）使用基于规则的方法模拟蛋白质折叠; 2） 染色体图谱信息的逻辑操作; 3）鉴定 分子序列基序。 这种合作努力的结果 已在一次国际会议上提出并发表。

The analysis of genomic organization requires a facility that allows a biologist to logically manipulate the complex interrelated information thoughtfully. A collaborative working group has been established to explore new hardware and software technologies that may be applied to the analysis of genomic information. The goals for this group are to apply logic programming to the development of prototype analysis and simulation systems for biological systems. A series of collaborative visits and workshops have been used to define three areas of collaborative research: 1) simulation of protein folding using rule based methods; 2) logical manipulation of chromosomal map information; and 3) identification of molecular sequence motifs. The results of this collaborative effort have been presented at an international meeting and published.
