SCOPE

Topics of interest within the scope of this workshop include, but are not limited to, the following areas related to Genome Science: sequence analysis, motif extraction and search, multiple alignment, gene structure prediction, gene function prediction, phylogeny tree, systems for supporting experimental work (mapping, sequencing, primer design, etc.), comparative analysis of genomes, gene expression profile analysis, knowledge extraction from literature, knowledge discovery from databases, linkage analysis program, association analysis, protein structure and function prediction, genome database, pathway analysis, proteome analysis, simulation of biological system, DNA computing, artificial life, which are overall related to Genome Science.

Submitted papers are reviewed by the members of the program committee, and selected on importance in Genome Science, computational advance, theoretical analyses, and experimental results in addition to their originality, timeliness, and clarity of presentation. Accepted papers will be included in the book ``Genome Informatics 1998'' published by Universal Academy Press, Inc.
