PSB 2001

PSB 2001 Conference Report: PSB'2001 Todd Wareham Department of Computer Science Memorial University of Newfoundland harold@cs.mun.ca The Sixth Annual Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB'2001) took place January 3-7, 2001 at the Sheraton Orchid at Mauna Lani on the Big Island of Hawaii. After an initial day of tutorials, 38 talks spread over 9 topic-tracks were given over the next four days, as well as one keynote address and a well-attended poster session with more than 100 displays. The symposium proceedings were published by World Scientific Press and are also available on-line (see below). There were roughly 365 attendees. Two approximate breakdowns of these attendees are 250 North American, 45 Asian and 70 other (by geography) and 140 university, 140 industrial, and 85 government laboratory (by institution). There has been a noticeable increase both in the number of attendees and in the proportion of industrial attendees in particular as compared with previous PSB meetings. This is is symptomatic of computational biology meetings in general and will be discussed further below. The meeting started with a day devoted to three-hour tutorials on data analysis tools for DNA microarray data, computational methods for predicting RNA secondary and tertiary structure with applications, genetic network http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM SIGBIO Newsletter Association for Computing Machinery
