Dear Colleagues:
\nProgram and Organizing Committees have honor to announce the traditional biennial event-The Fifth International Conference on Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure (BGRS’2006)-to be held on July 16-22, 2006, in Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia.<\/p>\n
BGRS’2006 is a multidisciplinary conference, and we are pleased to invite scientists with an interest in bioinformatics, mathematical, theoretical, or computational biology to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n
Its scope includes development and application of advanced methods of computational and theoretical analysis to structure-function genome organization, proteomics, and evolutionary and systems biology. The event addresses the latest research in these fields, and will be a great opportunity for attendees to showcase their works.<\/p>\n
BGRS’2006 provides a general forum for disseminating and facilitating the latest developments in bioinformatics in molecular biology, and we also invite scientists participating in experimental research and using theoretical and\/or computational methods in their practice to come. We will be delighted to see industry representatives from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies as BGRS’2006 conferees, too.<\/p>\n
As at previous conferences, the BGRS’2006 program will be composed of plenary lectures, oral reports, specialized poster sessions, computer demonstrations, software demonstrations, round table discussions, and tutorials.<\/p>\n
