In recent years, high-throughput experimental methods in molecular biology have resulted in enormous amounts of data, both in terms of volume and in terms of new types of data. In addition to complete genome sequences, we have gene expression data, protein structural data, protein-protein interaction data, and protein-DNA interaction data. Data mining techniques will play a large role in analyzing and integrating these large biological datasets, as well as in discovering the biological processes underlying these data.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in both data mining and bioinformatics, with the aim of exploring new techniques and insights for deciphering biological databases.
