2003 at the University of Bologna, Italy, with the specific aim of discussing recent
developments in bioinformatics. The school provided an opportunity for students
and scientists to debate current problems in computational biology and possible
solutions. The course, co-supported (as last year) by the European Science Foundation
program on Functional Genomics, focused mainly on hot topics in structural
genomics, including recent CASP and CAPRI results, recent and promising genomewide
predictions, protein–protein and protein–DNA interaction predictions and
genome functional annotation. The topics were organized into four main sections
