Dates: April 12-16th 2004 inclusive. Registration deadline: March 15th, 2004. Website: http://bioinf.may.ie/Phylogenomics/ Background Phylogenomics and phyloinformatics are two terms that relate to the processing of large amounts of genomic data with a view towards producing organismal phylogenies based upon those data. The two main methods of analysis include supermatrix and supertree analysis. We have no particular preference for either approach and will present both kinds of solution along with cautionary tales about each. Who is this course for? This course is designed to be of the most benefit to those researchers that have a small amount of familiarity with phylogenetic analysis and intend on setting up and using a system for performing phylogenetic analysis on the genome level. Why would I do these analyses? To explore organismal phylogenies, gene duplication and gene loss, horizontal gene transfer events, etc. Students are encouraged to bring their own data.

It also occurs when I just do "icarus pfam.is". Apparently some entries have become too big. The first offending entry is GP120 (PF00516). Has anyoane of you met the same problem ? Has anyone an idea about how to fix it ? Regards, Guy Bottu, Belgian EMBnet Node
