and discussion of original research on computational biology and 
bioinformatics. The major themes for CG'06 are:

-        High-throughput automated genome annotation

-        Bioinformatics for biological networks

-        Bioinformatics for infectious diseases

If you are a student interested in attending the meeting and would like 
to apply for funding assistance please consult the CG'06 web site at
