During the computer sessions, participants are able to work on the examples provided or on their own experimental data. Attendance is limited to 20 participants to allow one-on-one instruction and encourage scientific interactions and discussions. Application deadlines are six weeks prior to the workshop. Researchers nationwide are invited to apply. The following four workshops will be offered during 1996. For additional information on Biomedical Workshops, please refer to the online material at URL http://www.psc.edu/biomed/workshops.html Supercomputing Techniques for Biomedical Researchers; May 6-10, 1996. The purpose of this workshop is to introduce attendees to the concepts of supercomputing. The main goal is to provide researchers a firm basis from which to analyze their applications for implementation in a supercomputing environment. After a brief introduction to PSC's supercomputing environment, including the architectures of the CRAY C90 and T3E, various vector and massively parallel programming models, their differences and similarities, their strengths and weaknesses will be discussed. Message passing, performance monitoring, optimization techniques, and heterogeneous supercomputing will be introduced with emphasis on practical considerations. Specific real-world biomedical supercomputing applications will be presented to illustrate these concepts. Finally, a panel discussion will attempt to address researchers' individual application questions. Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence Analysis; June 9-14, 1996. Emphasis will be on alignment of and pattern extraction from multiple sequences. Topics to be discussed include Comparing and aligning sequences Identifying informative patterns in a set of sequences Using extracted informative patterns to identify related sequences. Leaders are Dr. Gary Churchill, Cornell University, Dr. Hugh B. Nicholas, Jr., Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and Dr. Michael Gribskov, San DIego Supercomputing Center. Methods and Applications of Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics to Molecules of Biological Interest; August 7-10, 1996. Instructors include Prof. Peter A. Kollman, UCSF, Dr. David Case, the Scripps Research Institute, Thomas Cheatham, UCSF, and Bill Ross, UCSF. General aspects of molecular mechanics and dynamics theory and software will be discussed. The program AMBER will be utilized extensively in demonstrations. Advanced Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence Analysis; Dates TBA. Open to researchers who have previously attended one of the PSC's annual "Nucleic Acid and Protein Sequence Analysis" workshops or who have appreciable experience with computerized sequence analysis. The workshop will build on previous experience to teach techniques for analyzing families and superfamilies of genes and proteins.

I'm interested in finding programs used for finding orders among many fragmented genomes to sequence and construct whole genome. Public domain (free) softwares are preferred, but also software that is sold for profit and their info are also welcomed.
