The "X-meeting" is an annual event organized by the Associação Brasileira de Bioinformática e Biologia Computacional [AB3C] to provide a forum for Brazilian and international* scientists to report on recent progress and remarkable issues in the field. The meeting provides four venues for reports: posters, technical sections, mini-symposia and lectures


Program
All papers accepted by the X-meeting Editorial Commitee are going to be published in Genet. Mol. Res. 4(4) 2005 and selected to compose the Technical Sections. The deadline for submission of papers and posters is August 4.
