Conference-- Bioinformatics After the Human Genome

描述：(申请人提供)为期两天半的会议应 聚集年轻而有经验的生物信息学研究人员。基因组学 与密集计划密切相关的生物科学领域包括20个 全体会议和主题演讲，多达60张海报演示文稿以及软件 示威游行。2001年的会议议程将涉及基因发现和 蛋白质结构和功能预测领域以及迅速发展 比较基因组学、微阵列数据分析、推断调控领域 途径和系统发育关系。会议形式在以下方面进行了测试 1997年和1999年亚特兰大“硅学中的基因发现”会议(和1999年 亚特兰大“硅生物学：序列、结构和功能” (http://exon.biology.gatech.edu/conference).)参与者的回应有 如下图所示，1997年和1999年的会议提供了 极好的机会了解该领域的最新进展，并 来自不同研究文化的科学家之间交流思想。数字 1997年参加人数为184人，1999年为203人。我们预计这个数字是 2001年至少有200人。我们打算把参加人数控制在240人以内。 推动主流讲座具有学术针对性和全面性 讲课时间从40分钟到1小时不等。鉴于美国总统大选的积极经验 以前的会议，我们也要求相同规模的会议支持在 2003年和2005年。鉴于会议的非营利性及其 我们的学术重点主要局限于利用国家和联邦的支持。这个 传统上，会议安排在周末举行。从周四晚上到 周日中旬，方便教职员工和学生参与。

DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) The two and a half day conference should bring together young and experienced researchers in Bioinformatics. Genomics and closely related Bioscience fields for intensive program including 20 plenary and keynote lectures, up to 60 poster presentations as well as software demonstrations. The 2001 conference agenda will cover gene discovery and protein structure and function prediction area as well as rapidly developed area of comparative genomics, microarray data analysis, inferring regulatory pathways and phylogenetics relationships. The conference format was tested in the 1997 and 1999 Atlanta "Gene discovery in silico" conference (and the 1999 Atlanta "In silico Biology: Sequence and Structure and Function" (http://exon.biology.gatech.edu/conference). The participants responses have shown (as can be seen below) that the 1997 and 1999 conferences provided an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest progress in the field and to exchange ideas between scientists from different research cultures. The number of participants was 184 in 1997, and 203 in 1999. We expect this number to be at least 200 in 2001. We intend to keep the number of participants within 240 to facilitate mainstream lecture course with academic focus and comprehensive lectures of 40 minutes to one hour long. Given the positive experience of the previous conferences we also request same size support for the conferences in the years 2003 and 2005. Given the non-profit nature of the conference and its academic focus we are confined to mainly use the state and federal support. The conference is traditionally scheduled for a weekend. from Thursday evening to mid Sunday to facilitate participation of teaching faculty and students.
