Topics

The symposium will cover four broad topics:

  • Sequence to Structure
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Regulatory Networks
  • Analysis of Gene Expression

Each topic will be presented in a number of formats:

  • Background lectures: The morning session of each day will be devoted to background lectures, which will target students but also be applicable to academics moving into bioinformatics, and those who wish to learn about other areas of bioinformatics. This will also be a time for collaboration for those who do not require these lectures.
  • Keynote speakers: The first and last talk of each afternoon will be a keynote speaker
  • Specialist talks: The time in each afternoon between the keynote talks will be a time for specialist talks
