Biology
has shift from how visible traits are inherited to the systematic
study of molecular structure and dynamics of genomes. Thanks
to the use of high throughput technologies, biological data
and new computational methods are changing our understanding
of living entities. To feature these advances, the Virtual
Conference on Genomics and Bioinformatics provides an advanced
collaborative environment where high profile researchers discuss
the challenges and opportunities in the understanding of living
systems. In order to provide a meaningful discussion, The
Virtual Conference seeks to accomplish three main objectives:
*
Transcend geographical and economical barriers for the exchange
of ideas that facilitates the interaction and collaboration
among scientists and educators around the world.
* Address the benefits and limitations of the newest developments
in post-genomic technologies.
* Explore the social and ethical implications of genomic and
bioinformatic research.
* Establish new ways to introduce the high school community
to today's multidisciplinary science.
In
order to accomplish our objectives, the Virtual Conference
on Genomics and Bioinformatics is completed without registration
fees. The conference is broadcast around the world using Access
Grid and real-time video streaming technologies. In addition
to the real-time virtual conference, presentations (visual
and audio) are available on the web for delayed streaming.
Threaded discussion sessions with the invited speakers and
additional peer-reviewed paper sessions follow the conference.
Who
Should Attend?
Students,
Bioinformatics' project leaders, Statisticians, Computational
Biologists, Computational Chemists, IT leaders and Genomic
