PSB provides a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology. PSB intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists and biologists, presenting significant original research, demonstrating computer systems, and facilitating formal and informal discussions on topics of importance to computational biology. >>>> PSB 2001 Sessions To provide focus for the very broad area of biological computing, PSB is organized into a series of specific sessions. Each session involves both formal research presentations and open discussion groups. The 2001 PSB sessions are: * Human Genome Variation and Clinical Genotypics * Genome, Pathway and Interaction Bioinformatics * NLP and IE for Biology * High Performance Computing for Computational Biology * Phylogenetics in the Post-Genomic Era * Integrated Study of Protein Evolution * Disorder in Protein Function * DNA Structure, Interactions, and Expression * Bioethics and Fiction Science >>>> Papers, Abstracts and Demonstrations The core of the conference consists of rigorously peer-reviewed full-length papers reporting on original work. Accepted papers will be published in a hard-bound archival proceedings, and the best of these will be presented orally to the entire conference. Workstations and internet connections will be available for demonstrations. Open submissions of posters and abstracts are also encouraged. See the web site http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb for information about submission requirements. >>>> Important dates Paper submissions due: July 17, 2000 Abstract deadline: November 6, 2000 Meeting: January 3-7, 2001 >>>> For More Information See our web site http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb or send email to the conference coordinator: psb@cgl.ucsf.edu .
