The Genomics and Computational Biology Program at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
and the
University of California, Berkeley
donated a sum of $ 2000,00 to award papers and posters
with young authors, in order to encourage young scientists to
work in the field of computational biology.
Out of this money, 3 papers and 5 posters received $250,00 each.
The paper selection was performed by the organizing committee of
ISMB'99 based on
-
quality of the work,
-
significance of the work
-
papers with junior first authors were given some preference
-
papers involving members of scientific groups of members of the organizing
committee were excluded.
The following three papers were awarded by the organizing
committee.
Multiple Structural Alignment
and Core Detection by Geometric Hashing
Nathaniel Leibowitz,
Zipora Y. Fligelman, Ruth Nussinov, Haim J. Wolfson
Rapid Assessment of Extremal
Statistics for Gapped Local Alignment
Rolf Olsen, Ralf Bundschuh,
Terence Hwa
ESTScan:
a program for detecting , evaluating, and reconstructing
potential coding regions in EST sequences
Christian Iseli, C. Victor Jongeneel,
Philipp Bucher
The five posters were selected by the ISMB'99 participants. Each
participant received a ballot in his registration material, on
which he could vote for three posters. 113 ballots were turned
in (voter turnout of 17%). The highest counts for posters were
between 9 and 16. The following posters received an award:
Poster No 41
