LOCALE: Vienna, Austria (at ISMB)
DATES: July 19-20, 2007

The Automated Function Prediction (AFP) SIG and the Biosapiens European network of excellence are teaming up to hold a two-day Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting at ISMB/ECCB 2007.

The deluge of genomic information is challenging biologists to annotate this data, from locating genes in the raw data through predicting the function from protein sequence and structure. AFP and Biosapiens share many common goals, and this year we have decided to join forces for a SIG that will deal with a wide scope of gene, protein, and genomic annotations.

Talks are sought in various aspects of gene and protein function prediction and genomic annotation.

IMPORTANT DATES (as of February 21, 2007. Subject to change):
May 1 2007: Talk and poster abstracts due
May 21 2007: notification of acceptance
May 28, 2007: final abstracts due
July 19-20, 2007: AFP-Biosapiens SIG alongside ISMB/ECCB 2007 in Vienna, Austria.
