Conference on bioinformatics models, methods and algorithms, Rome, Italy
The field of bioinformatics applies statistics and computer science to molecular biology. Bioinformatics includes the creation and advancement of databases, algorithms, computational and statistical techniques and theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data. Scientists working in the field often map and analyse DNA and protein sequences, align different DNA and protein sequences to compare them and create and view three dimensional models of protein structures.
The event will look to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the application of computational systems and information technologies to the field of molecular biology. Topics set to be covered include:
- the use of statistics and algorithms in understanding biological processes and systems,
- new developments in genome bioinformatics and computational biology,
- sequence analysis,
- biostatistics,
- image analysis,
- scientific data management and data mining,
- machine learning,
- pattern recognition,
- computational evolutionary biology,
- computational genomics.For further information, please visit: http://www.bioinformatics.biostec.org/(opens in new window)
