HUM-MOLGEN events: PROTEIN INFORMATICS

HUM-MOLGEN -> Events -> Meetings and Conferences

July 26, 2001

Cambridge Heathtech Institute, San Diego, California
November 12-13, 2001

The recent determination that the human genome comprises only approximately 35,000 genes—not 60,000 to 100,000 as previously thought has directed even more attention to the role of proteins. The proteomic pipeline is under way to reveal, identify, and understand biological mechanisms
that exist between proteins and protein folding and how protein structure relates to function. This explosion in genomic and proteomic data and the exponential increase of known protein structures should make it easier to develop highly specific, safer, and more effective pharmaceuticals.
But there is so much data available that the task of managing, sharing, analyzing, and transforming these data into meaningful knowledge has almost become overwhelming. CHI's Protein Informatics is designed to provide in-depth coverage of the development and integration of databases utilized by research scientists for the storage/retrieval, analysis, data mining, and manipulation of biological sequence, structure, function, and annotation data.
