      BIOKDD 2001: Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics
                 in conjunction with KDD 2001
          August 26-29, 2001, San Francisco, CA, USA

Bioinformatics is the science of storing, extracting, organizing,
analyzing, interpreting, and utilizing information from biological
sequences and molecules. Knowledge Discovery and Data mining (KDD)
techniques will play an increasingly important role in the analysis
and discovery of sequence, structure and functional patterns or
models from large sequence databases. High performance techniques
are also becoming central to this task.

Bioinformatics provides opportunities for developing novel mining
methods. Some of the grand challenges in bioinformatics include
protein structure prediction, homology search, multiple alignment and
phylogeny construction, genomic sequence analysis, gene finding and
gene mapping, as well as applications in gene expression data
analysis, drug discovery in pharmaceutical industry, etc.
