[Sy-cg-global] [Publicity-list] DIMACS Workshop on Data Mining Techniques in Bioinformatics

[Linda Casals]

DIMACS Workshop on Data Mining Techniques in Bioinformatics

October 30 - 31, 2003 
DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University

Organizers:

   Mona Singh, Princeton University, mona at cs.princeton.ed
   Mark Gerstein, Yale University, Mark.Gerstein at yale.edu 

Presented under the auspices of the DIMACS Special Focus on Data
   Analysis and Mining 

*********************************************************************

In recent years, high-throughput experimental methods in molecular
biology have resulted in enormous amounts of data, both in terms of
volume and in terms of new types of data. In addition to complete
genome sequences, we have gene expression data, protein structural
data, protein-protein interaction data, and protein-DNA interaction
data. Data mining techniques will play a large role in analyzing and
integrating these large biological datasets, as well as in discovering
the biological processes underlying these data.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in both
data mining and bioinformatics, with the aim of exploring new
techniques and insights for deciphering biological databases. 

Talks will be by invitation only.
