LOCALE: Toronto, Canada (ISMB 2008) DATES: July 18-19, 2008 The Automated Function Prediction (AFP) special interest group and the Biosapiens European network of excellence are teaming up to hold a two-day Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting alongside ISMB 2008.
The deluge of genomic information is challenging biologists to annotate this data, from locating genes in the raw data through predicting the function form protein sequence and structure. AFP and Biosapiens share many common goals, and this year we have decided to join forces for a meeting that will deal with a wide scope of gene, protein, and genomic annotations. This meeting is held alongside ISMB, the largest conference on computational biology worldwide. Confirmed keynote speakers include: - Patricia Babbitt, University of California San Francisco, USA - Peer Bork, European Molecular Biology Laboratories, Germany - Andrew Emili, University of Toronto, Canada - Roderic Guigó, Institut Municipal d'Investigació Mèdica, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain - Barry Honig, Columbia University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, USA - Kimmen Sjölander, University of California Berkeley, USA - Olga Troyanskaya, Princeton University, USA Registration: http://www.iscb.org/ismb2008/registration.php (Scroll down to "2-day SIGs".
