A steering committee composed of leading experts from a number of collaborating institutions and industries is assisting in planning and implementing activities. Special Year Activities Workshop series on such topics as sequence alignment, phylogeny, and HIV sequence analysis.
Every workshop has two main organizers, one each from the mathematical and biological sciences.
Distinguished Lecture Series consisting of 11 lectures by outstanding researchers. Seminars weekly, except when a workshop, miniworkshop, or Distinguished Lecture Series address is scheduled. Algorithm Implementation Challenges, culminating in a September 1995 workshop, to challenge researchers to develop algorithmic methods for a series of benchmark problems dealing with DNA sequence determination from shotgun sequence data. Visitor program allowing researchers to spend time at the center. Prominent researchers in biocomputing and biomathematics are visiting, some for as long as a year.
