[Fourth Basel Computational Biology Conference 2006]

[BC]2 2005
Basel Computational Biology Conference 2006

"Comparative Genomics"

Biozentrum, University of Basel

March 16 & 17, 2006




The fourth Basel Computational Biology Conference 2006 focused on recent developmemts in comparative genomics. The year 2005 stands out for uncovering the intricacies of how evolution actually unfolds. Concrete genome data allowed researchers to start pinning down the molecular modifications that drive evolutionary change in organisms from viruses to primates.

High profile speakers from the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and the biotech industry discussed how comparative genomics approaches can further our understanding of biological systems.


The objective of this yearly meeting is to bring together like minded individuals and companies interested in the field of computational biology. The main goal of the conference is to provide a platform for informal communication and fruitful discussion between speakers and participants.
