SCOPE

The Twelfth International Conference on Genome Informatics (GIW 2001) focuses on Genome Informatics, including, but not limited to, the following areas: genomic database, knowledge extraction from literature, knowledge discovery and data mining from databases, structural genomics, protein structure and function prediction, proteome analysis, pathway analysis, functional genomics, gene expression analysis, gene network analysis, gene structure and function prediction, sequence analysis, motif extraction and search, multiple alignment, phylogenetic tree, linkage analysis program, systems for supporting experimental works (mapping, sequencing, primer design, etc.), high performance computing, simulation of biological system, DNA computing, artificial life, etc.

HISTORY OF GIW

The First GIW was held at Kikai Shinko Kaikan, Tokyo during December 3-4, 1990 as an open workshop just before the Japanese Human Genome Project started in 1991. Thus it has a history of twelve years. Since 1993, GIW changed to an international conference and Genome Informatics Series has been published from Universal Academy Press, Inc. GIW 2000 had more than 500 participants and it is no longer a "workshop". From 2001, the name of this annual meeting is changed to "International Conference on Genome Informatics" while keeping GIW as its nickname because the name GIW has well-settled in the community.
