Abstract:
The 4th Bologna Winter School on Biotechnologies was held on 9-15 February 2003 at the University of Bologna, Italy, with the specific aim of discussing recent developments in bioinformatics. The school provided an opportunity for students and scientists to debate current problems in computational biology and possible solutions. The course, co-supported (as last year) by the European Science Foundation program on Functional Genomics, focused mainly on hot topics in structural genomics, including recent CASP and CAPRI results, recent and promising genomewide predictions, protein-protein and protein-DNA interaction predictions and genome functional annotation. The topics were organized into four main sections (http://www.biocomp.unibo.it).
