The Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics covers research in all aspects of algorithmic work in bioinformatics. The emphasis is on algorithms that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real data sets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research.

WABI 2001 is sponsored by BRICS and EATCS (the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) and jointly organized and colocated with ESA 2001 and WAE 2001 in the context of ALGO 2001 (http://www.brics.dk/algo2001/).
