ISCB honors David Haussler and Aviv Regev

[...]Haussler's recent achievements have been more in the application of bioinformatics methods than in their development. Since 1999, he has been one of the principal figures in sequencing, and later analysing, the human genome and those of other mammals, and in mining this genomic information for insight into vertebrate evolutionary history. Stormo, now professor of genetics at the University of Washington in St. Louis, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of PLoS Computational Biology, has made significant contributions to the study of DNA-protein interactions and the prediction of nucleic acid structure and function; Myers was one of the inventors of the BLAST program, a key innovator in shotgun sequencing, and a principal architect of Celera's draft sequence of the human genome.
