RNA

2012, Jul 22 -- Aug 03

Organizers:
E. Rivas (Janelia Farm Research Campus, HHMI)
E. Westhof (University of Strasbourg)

This workshop intends to bring together researchers in RNA computational biology, to identify the needs, and to propose new developments for the identification, annotation, and the computational analysis of functional and regulatory RNAs present in genomes.

A central aim of the meeting is to allow participants to do theoretical work on RNA genomics being in the same location with ample time to interact, transfer ideas, and do actual scientific research. The actual talks in the workshop will be informal yet technical, and they are intended to give impetus and dynamism to the collaborative exchange of ideas and algorithms. The meeting constitutes an unique opportunity for deepening and spreading knowledge on RNA bioinformatics.

Specifically, some of the issues that will be discussed are:

- RNA two and three dimensional structure prediction;
- RNA genefinding and genome annotation;
- RNA homology searches and structural alignments.
- RNA databases and RNA Ontology.
- RNA metagenomics.

Registration can be done through this website, not later than April 15th 2012.

Early bird registration: an early selection of 40 participants will be announced by March 4 from those applicants registered by February 29, 2012.
