- Tutorial and Workshop on
- Algorithms for Molecular Sequence Alignment
-
-
- Nov. 5 - 6, 1992
- University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM
-
- Sandia National Laboratories and the Computer Science Department at
- the University of New Mexico are pleased to announce a tutorial and
- workshop on {\em Algorithms for Molecular Sequence Alignment}, to be
- held on Nov. 5 and 6, 1992, at the University of New Mexico, in
- Albuquerque, NM. The tutorial is designed to introduce the problem
- of molecular sequence alignment, while the workshop will focus on new
- algorithmic techniques for this fundamental problem in computational
- biology. The tutorial and workshop will be free and open to the public.
- Graduate students and postdocs are especially encouraged to attend.
-
- Thursday, Nov. 5: Tutorial
-
-
- Topics to be covered include:
- biological background, optimal pairwise alignments,
- global and local alignment, suboptimal pairwise alignments,
- distance vs. similarity, scoring matrices, database searching,
- and multiple alignment: trees and profiles.
