POST-GENOME KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY

Jan. - June, 2002, Singapore Organized by Institute for Mathematics Sciences

     The program on Post-Genome Knowledge Discovery will focus on the computational and statistical analysis of sequence and genetic data and the mathematical modeling of complex biological interactions, which are critical to the accurate annotation of genomic sequences, the study of the interplay between genes and proteins, and the study of the genetic variability of species. It is intended to bring together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians for interaction and exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Topics:

The program will focus on the following areas:

  1. Sequence and gene expression analysis (Jan - Feb 2002)
  2. Population and statistical genetics (Mar - Apr 2002)
  3. Protein interaction and clinical data analysis (May - Jun 2002)

There will be tutorials on background material and workshops at research level, in addition to seminars and informal discussions.
