PSB98:Gene-Finding
Gene Structure Identification in Large-Scale
Genomic Sequence
of
The Third Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB-98)
Kapalua, Hawaii, January 4-9, 1998
http://psb.stanford.edu/psb98
With the expectation of over 2 million bases of DNA to be sequenced and
released on average each day from the major genome centers within the next few
years, a great new challenge is presented to the computational gene-finding
community: how to develop computational systems to identify and annotate genes
in large-scale genomic sequences in a faster and more accurate fashion.
This special track of PSB'98 is intended to provide a forum for researchers
and system developers from the computational gene-finding community to address
issues related to how to fully utilize the available EST/protein sequences
and biological information, and statistical and mathematical tools to automate
gene identification and annotation in large-scale genomic sequences.
Papers are solicited on any aspect of computational gene finding, especially
on topics related to
- recognition of coding regions, splice sites, translation and
transcription starts, or any signals related to the gene structure,
- gene structure prediction, particularly multiple-gene structure
prediction,
- organization and application of EST/cDNA/protein sequences for more
efficient and accurate gene structure prediction,
- gene prediction on error-prone, incomplete, and unfinished genomic
sequences,
- methods for attaching relevant biological annotation,
- visualization of gene predictions.
Authors are invited to submit five copies of their full-length papers or a
1-page poster abstract to the PSB'98 conference distribution center at (please
indicating the track name)

PSB'98 will publish accepted full papers in an archival Proceedings. All
contributed papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed by at least three referees.
Each accepted full paper will be allocated up to 12 pages in the conference
Proceedings. The best papers will be selected for a 30-minute oral presentation
to the full assembled conference. Accepted poster abstracts will be distributed
at the conference separately from the archival Proceedings. To be eligible for
proceedings publication, each full paper must be accompanied by a cover letter
stating that it contains original unpublished results not currently under
consideration elsewhere.
