Long Beach, California
An ISMB 2012 Special Interest Group meeting
Deadline to submit talk and poster abstracts: April 18, 2012
Select abstracts will be featured at AFP 2012 as talks or posters. Please go the the abstract submissions page for more details.
Talks are sought in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Function prediction using sequence based methods. This would
include "classic" methods such as detection of functional motifs
and inferring function from sequence similarity.
- Function from genomic information: prediction by genomic location;
locus comparison with other organisms; function gain and loss.
- Phylogeny based methods
- Function from molecular interactions
- Function from structure
- Function prediction using combined methods
- Meta-talks" discussing the limitations and horizons of
computational function prediction.
- Assessing function prediction programs

Keynote Speaker:
Jonathan Eisen, University of California, Davis.
