The genome – sequencing and structural genomics efforts worldwide have contributed to huge data on protein sequences and novel protein folds. However, there still remains a wide gap between the number of known protein sequences and three dimensional structures. The conference will deal to protein fold prediction, comparative protein modelling, secondary structure prediction, protein dynamics and simulations, ab-initio prediction and the validation of protein models and various aspects of structure determination and analysis by X – ray crystallography.     Paper submission open December 2, 2010     Paper submission deadline January 20, 2011     Paper acceptance decision January 28, 2011     Poster submission open December 30, 2010     Poster submission deadline January 28, 2011     Poster acceptance decision January 31, 2011     Registratio...

Practical Course - European Molecular Biology Organization Bioinformatics & Comparative Genome Analyses 27 June - 09 July, 2011 |Institute Pasteur | Paris | France About the Practical Course In the context of large-scale genome comparisons, the main objectives of this general purpose practical course are to strengthen capacities of students in Bioinformatics and data analyses skills by introducing reviews on advanced fundamental algorithms used in Bioinformatics and their applications in genome studies.     Theoretical presentations will be followed by practical sessions, so that the same speaker will ensure links between theory and practice. Reviews on each suggested topic will include their corresponding research perspectives, aiming at helping young scientists to gain insights into ongoing research in this domain.  The course topics will include theoretical and practical aspects in: large-scale genome comparisons, evolutionary analyses, sequence and g...
