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
GIW 2002 is an international conference on genome
informatics: computational analyses of genetic
information. Its scope includes all work that is ultimately
devoted to the computational understanding of biologicalsystems on a molecular basis.
