Schedule and Program


Papers released by their authors/lecturers are now available for download.

Theme for each day:
The programme for each day is devoted to a topic, where both educational and research presentations will be delivered.
BioInfoSummer starts on Monday afternoon, a day devoted to provision of background knowledge in biology.
The themes for Tuesday to Friday are: Sequence to Structure, Comparative Genomics, Analysis of Gene Expressions and Regulatory Networks.

Mornings:
The morning session of each day starting Tuesday will start with 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. Presentation of a keynote speaker will end the morning sessions.

Afternoons:
Each afternoon will be filled by presentation of contributed papers, followed by a keynote lecture. Workshops will be run in parallel with these presentations.
