The central theme of this year will be "Computational Biology of Molecular Sequences". In our site, you have at your disposal all the news<http://2011symposium.crg.es/noticias/?utm_source=nwsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mail2news> and the latest details of the symposium<http://2011symposium.crg.es/?utm_source=nwsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mail2Home2>, plus the speakers<http://2011symposium.crg.es/ponentes/?utm_source=nwsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mail2speakers> to attend. The X edition features, this time, with a great novelty. Some of the experts participating in the conference will focus their presentations based on questions and / or discussions made via our forum<http://2011symposium.crg.es/forum/?utm_source=nwsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mail2forum> in which, of course, you are invited to participate. Add your comments before 14 Oct midday! --> DEADLINE EXTENDED: POST BEFORE 23 OCTOBER!!<http://2011symposium.crg.es/forum/?utm_source=nwsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mail2forum> Roderic Guigó, one of the organizers of the X CRG Annual Symposium, entitled "Computational Biology of Molecular Sequences", explains in this interview<http://2011symposium.crg.es/videos/video-presentacion/?utm_source=nwsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mail2Introvideo> why you should not miss this high-profile scientific meeting, that will take place at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), in Barcelona, on 10-11 November 2011. We hope you enjoy your visit and hope to see you at the Symposium. Computational Biology of Molecular Sequences Advances in methods to sequence nucleic acids, coupled with more general advances in automation, robotization, and multiplexing, have resulted in the capacity to survey the phenomena of life in a global manner and with unprecedented resolution. As a result, Biology, traditionally an analytic science in which the natural world is dissected in its elemental components in order to be comprehended, is becoming a synthetic science, in which the phenomena of life is approached in more systemic way. In parallel, Biology, a science in which human effort been directed until very recently towards data acquisition, is increasingly becoming a discipline in which data is obtained with almost no human intervention, and the effort is being directed towards data analysis. Computational systems to store, analyze and model biological data have thus become an essential part of research in Biology. The connection between Biology and Computation, however, runs much deeper as we are coming to realize that the unfolding of the instructions in the genome is, stricto senso, a computation on the DNA sequence. Biology, thus, cannot be understood without Computation. The two-day CRG symposium on "Computational Biology of Molecular Sequences" will bring together renowned Computational Biologists from around the world, including both pioneers in the field, as well as promising young scientists. Presentations, discussions and dialogue during the Symposium will contribute to survey the status of a discipline that, at the intersection of Biology and Computation, will have an enormous impact on the world of the XXIst century. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ We hope you found this message to be useful.
