This one-day workshop will bring together an international group of experts to discuss functional aspects of genome annotation. The workshop goals are to create an open forum to discuss current problems on function annotation, to foster the analysis of key scientific issues in function prediction, and to promote collaboration among scientists interested in the development of computational methods in this key area of molecular biology. |
