NUCLEIC ACID AND PROTEIN SEQUENCE ANALYSIS WORKSHOP

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center , Pittsburgh, PA
July 20-25, 1997

Invited Speakers: Dr. Gary Churchill, Cornell University
Dr. David W. Deerfield II, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
Dr. Michael Gribskov, San Diego Supercomputer Center
Dr. Hugh B. Nicholas Jr., Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
Alexander J. Ropelewski, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center

Program:
This intense workshop will teach the basics of sequence
analysis, including remote supercomputing, database
searching and pairwise sequence alignment, multiple sequence
alignments, pattern identification, inverse structure
prediction, and visualization of macromolecular structures.
Special emphasis will be placed on parameter selection, and
the mathematical and statistical properties of the
algorithms and methods presented. Information will also be
presented on the latest pattern identification techniques
including hidden markov models, advanced position-specific
weight matrix techniques and bayesan estimation.


The workshop will consist of both lectures and extensive
hands-on lab sessions. In addition to the lab exercises,
participants can work on their own research problems, with
the help of the instructors. Participants are encouraged to
bring their research data, but not required.
