In the last few decades, advances in molecular biology and the equipment available for research in this field have allowed the increasingly rapid sequencing of large portions of the genomes of several species. In fact, several baterial genomes, as well as those of some simple eukaryotes have been sequenced in full. Popular sequence databases, such as GenBank and EMBL, have been growing at exponential rates. This deluge of information has necessitated the careful storage, organization and indexing of sequencing information. Information science has been applied to biology to produce the field called bioinformatics. The speakers in this session will communicate recent advances in the area of bioinformatics. Some lectures should be accessible to mathematicians who want to learn about this exciting area.
