Summary

The ten challenges of Bioinformatics

  • Precise models of where and when transcription will occur in a genome (initiation and termination)
  • Precise, predictive models of alternative RNA splicing
  • Precise models of signal transduction pathways
  • Determining protein:DNA, protein:RNA, protein:protein recognition codes
  • Accurate ab-initio protein structure prediction
  • Rational design of small molecule inhibitors of proteins
  • Mechanistic understanding of protein evolution
  • Mechanistic understanding of protein speciation
  • Development of effective gene ontologies
  • Education: development of bioinformatics curricula
