A tremendous suc- cess has been witnessed in template-based modelling protocols, whereas strategies that involve template-free modelling still lag behind, specifically for larger proteins (> 150 a.a.). Various improvements have been observed in ab initio protein structure prediction methodologies over- time, with recent ones attributed to the usage of deep learning approaches to construct protein backbone structure from its amino acid sequence.

Each circle represents the network of transcriptional interconnections between all other chromosomes to one of the chromosomes. Evidently all chromosomes are transcriptionally controlled by factors encoded on many of the 16 chromosomes in this organism marked by the letters ‘a’ through ‘p’. iii Declaration of originality This dissertation describes work I carried out at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge between January 2008 and April 2010. The contents are my original work, although much has been influenced by the collaborations in which I took part. I have not submitted the work in this dissertation for any other degree or qualification at any other university. Sarath Chandra Janga April, 2010 Cambridge, United Kingdom iv Acknowledgements First of all I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Madan Babu with out whose continuous support all along my doctoral work, it would have just remained a dream for me to carry out my thesis work at MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Madan has not only been an excellent supervisor but a good friend who was always supportive of my research interests, by allowing me to work independently on a wide range of problems during my stay here. He has been a source of great inspiration on various occasions and a great scientific colleague to work with.

We hope that you will enjoy the many facets of the conference: keynote lectures, oral communications, workshops and tutorials, demos, posters, booths. This dense and attractive program is intended to be the substrate of fruitful discussions and networking among all of you. We are proud to welcome seven distinguished Keynote Speakers: Nobel Prize laureate Jean-Marie Lehn (Strasbourg University, Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1987), Patrick Aloy (Institute for Research in Biomedicine, Barcelona, Spain), Alice McHardy (Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf and Helmholtz Center for Infection Biology, Braunschweig, Germany), Nada Lavrač (Jožef Stefan Institute and University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia), Ewan Birney (European Bioinformatics Institute, Hinxton, United Kingdom), Doron Lancet (The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel) and Eric Westhof (Strasbourg University, France). A large variety of Workshops, Tutorials and Satellite Meetings will take place on Saturday, September 6 and Sunday, September 7 to kick off the conference! We would like to stress the interest in the conference by the Council of Europe, whose headquarters are in Strasbourg. An invited talk by Laurence Lwoff, Head of the Bioethics Unit, is scheduled during the opening ceremony, in which she will share the Council of Europe’s concerns about the bio-ethical challenges raised by the usage of biobanks and biomedical data in research and its applications. The Council of Europe will also host the Gala Evening on Tuesday in its nice reception hall and gardens along the Ill river.
