Workshop Scope & Objectives
|
Bioinformatics is the science of managing, mining, and interpreting
information from biological sequences and structures. Genome
sequencing projects have contributed to an exponential growth in
complete and partial sequence databases. The structural genomics
initiative aims to catalog the structure-function information for
proteins. Advances in technology such as microarrays have launched
the subfield of genomics and proteomics to study the genes, proteins,
and the regulatory gene expression circuitry inside the cell. What
characterizes the state of the field is the flood of data that
exists today or that is anticipated in the future; data that needs to
be mined to help unlock the secrets of the cell.
While tremendous progress has been made over the years, many
of the fundamental problems in bioinformatics, such as protein
structure prediction or gene finding, are still open. Data mining will
play a fundamental role in understanding gene expression, drug design
and other emerging problems in genomics and proteomics. Furthermore,
text mining will be fundamental in extracting knowledge from the
growing literature in bioinformatics.
The goal of this workshop is to encourage KDD researchers to
take on the numerous challenges that Bioinformatics offers. The
workshop will feature invited talks from noted experts in the field,
and the latest data mining research in bioinformatics. We encourage
papers that propose novel data mining techniques for tasks such
as:
- Gene expression analysis
- Protein/RNA structure prediction
- Phylogenetics
- Sequence and structural motifs
- Genomics and Proteomics
- Gene finding
- Drug design
- Text mining in bioinformatics
This workshop follows the previous two highly successful workshops: BIOKDD02 , held in
Edmonton, Canada, and
BIOKDD01 held in San Francisco, CA. We expect BIOKDD03 to be
equally successful.
