February 13-17, 2006
The Bologna Winter Schools are unique international forums where to debate the state of the art of complex problems at the forehand of Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Modern Biology. The 7th Edition focuses on the applications of Bioinformatics to the Human Genome Analysis. Fundamental problems, that are still matter of debate, will be addressed such as the annotation, the expression and the regulation of the Human Genome, the relationship between expression and diseases, the variability between populations and the applications to molecular medicine. The growing interest in Biodiversity, Aging, Forensic Genomics and early diagnosis of genetic maladies indicates how Bioinformatics is essential not only for the management and the analysis of the data but also for identifying typical markers of different populations and individuals, with the common goal of highlighting the relationship between genotype and phenotype.The school will be devoted to explore which ideas and tools out of Bioinformatics can effectively help in the analysis at large of the Human Genome and will cover different sessions: How many genes?
Genome annotation
Transcription regulation
Genome variability
SNPs aging and diseases
Forensic genomics A round table discussion and an industry corner will give to all the participants the opportunity to briefly present their work and to discuss different applications. see http://www.biocomp.unibo.it/~school2006/ for the detailed course programme
