Pan American Advanced Studies Institute: Knowledge Discovery in Genomic Databases on Data Mining Applications for Genomics and Bioinformatics; Montevideo, Uruguay, November 2003

这个由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国能源部（DOE）联合支持的泛美高级研究所（PASI）奖将于2003年11月在乌拉圭的蒙得维的亚举行，主题是基因组学和生物信息学的数据挖掘应用。该研究所由乔治亚大学的Jeffrey Dean博士组织，将有来自美国和拉丁美洲的约30名学生和10名研究生/博士后研究人员，以及来自美国、巴西、阿根廷、委内瑞拉、智利和乌拉圭的12名讲师。PASI有两个主要目标：1)向参与者介绍应用于基因组数据库的最新知识发现；2)改进基因组数据挖掘工具在农业和生物科学研究中的网络方法和应用。演讲者、讲师和实践研讨会将强调影响生物信息学的几个领域的前沿发展。讨论将集中在知识发现技术的使用上，以阐明隐藏在高通量基因组技术生成的大量数据存储中的模式。两个以结构基因组和基因表达数据库为重点的案例研究工作坊将用于演示课程中介绍的概念的应用。PASI的最新结果将在http://fungen.botany.uga.edu/Projects/Pine/Pine.htm上公布。

0322312DeanThis Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in Montevideo, Uruguay, November 2003, on the topic of data mining applications for genomics and bioinformatics. Organized by Dr. Jeffrey Dean of the University of Georgia, the institute will involve approximately 30 students and 10 graduate/post-doc researchers from the U.S. and Latin America, and 12 lecturers from the USA, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile and Uruguay. The PASI has two principal goals: 1) educate participants about the state-of-the-art in knowledge discovery as applied to genomic databases; and 2) improve networking approaches and applications of genomic data mining tools in agriculture and biosciences research. Speakers, lecturers and hands-on workshops will emphasize leading edge developments across several fields that impinge on bioinformatics. Discussions will focus on the use of knowledge discovery technologies to elucidate patterns hidden in the vast stores of data being generated by high-throughput genomics techniques. Two case study workshops focused on structural genomic and gene expression databases will be used to demonstrate the application of concepts introduced in the courses. Up-to-date results on the PASI will be made available at http://fungen.botany.uga.edu/Projects/Pine/Pine.htm.
