*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION* * * *1st International Conference* *on* *Bioinformatics Research and Development* * B I R D '07*** *http://www.birdconf.org* <http: www.birdconf.org=""/>** * * *Technical University of Berlin, Germany* *March 12-14, 2007* *Keynote Talk: * * * *Josef Penninger, *Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) "From Flies to human disease"** *Scope of the conference:* * * The primary focus of BIRD '07 is to provide researchers and users in the field of bioinformatics a forum in which to interact about new research directions, developments, and software/web services. It encompasses the methods of solving biological, medical, or chemical problems by computer science, machine learning, or information processing tools. The conceptual level of the methods range from theoretical approaches through the design of algorithms, models, and information processing systems through to the development of software packages and web services. The program committee seeks contributions, which topics include, but are not limited to: * Algebraic Biology * Databases & Data Integration * Drug Design * Ontologies & Textmining * Evolution and Phylogenetics * Genomics * Gene and Splice Site Recognition * Machine Learning and Data Analysis * Gene Expression/Regulation & Microarrays * MicroRNA and RNAi * Molecular Diagnostics and Treatment Support * Molecular Dynamics * Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology * Phylogenetics & Molecular Evolution * Protein & RNA Structure and Function * Proteomics * Sequence Analysis & Alignment * SNPs and Haplotyping * Systems Biology and Modelling * * * * * * *General Chair:* Roland Wagner, FAW, University of Linz, Austria *Program Chair:* Sepp Hochreiter, University of Linz, Austria * * *Registration of Participation:* https://www.birdconf.org/registration/bird/register Early registration: before 31 January 2007 For the scientific program, registration, and Social Events please refer to the BIRD-website http://www.birdconf.org <http: www.birdconf.org=""/> For further inquiries, please contact the BIRD Conference Organisation Office (office at birdconf.org <mailto:office at="" birdconf.org="">) -- Univ.
