3rd International Biocuration Conference
April 16-19, 2009, Berlin, Germany
The 3rd International Biocuration Conference will provide a forum for curators and developers of biological databases to discuss their work, promote collaboration, and foster a sense of community in this active and growing area of research. Furthermore, we will introduce the newly formed International Society for Biocuration. Participants from academia, government, and industry interested in the methods and tools employed in biocuration are encouraged to attend.
