Welcome to the AB3C.::X-meeting::.


1st International Conference of the

Brazilian Association for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

Gloria Hotel - Village of CAXAMBU - M.G. - BRAZIL - October 4 to 7, 2005


"X" like the essential chromosome, the "X" on the map, "X" the query and the solution, "X" of  assembling strands, crossing areas, mixing of strings: Biology, Bioinformatics, Brazil, Computational, Association

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
