The Twelfth International Conference on GenomeInformatics (GIW 2001) is a forum for researchers,
practitioners and users working on various aspects ofGenome Informatics. The aim is to present recent
research results (theory/practice), to demonstrate systems,
and to explore directions for future research and new
applications.
SPONSORED AND ORGANIZED BY
Bioinformatics Center (Kyoto University),
Human Genome Center (University of Tokyo) andGrant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas“Genome Information Science” (MEXT of Japan).
Poster and Software Demonstration Session is organized
and sponsored by Japanese Society for Bioinformatics(JSBi, http://www.jsbi.org/).
SCOPE
The Twelfth International Conference on Genome
Informatics (GIW 2001) focuses on Genome Informatics,
including, but not limited to, the following areas:
genomic database, knowledge extraction from literature,knowledge discovery and data mining from databases,
structural genomics, protein structure and function
prediction, proteome analysis, pathway analysis,
functional genomics, gene expression analysis, genenetwork analysis, gene structure and function prediction,
sequence analysis, motif extraction and search, multiplealignment, phylogenetic tree, linkage analysis program,systems for supporting experimental works (mapping,sequencing, primer design, etc.), high performancecomputing, simulation of biological system, DNAcomputing, artificial life, etc.
