8. 1. 1 Protein Subcellular Location The life sciences have entered the post-genome era where the focus of biologicalresearchhasshiftedfromgenomesequencestoproteinfunctionality. Withwhole-genomedraftsofmouseandhumaninhand, scientistsareputting more and more e?ort into obtaining information about the entire proteome in a given cell type. The properties of a protein include its amino acid sequences, its expression levels under various developmental stages and in di?erenttissues, its3Dstructureandactivesites, itsfunctionalandstructural binding partners, and its subcellular location.

With the growth-rate at which data is being collected and stored electronically in almost all fields of human endeavour, the efficient extraction of useful information from the data available is becoming an increasing scientific challenge and a massive economic need. This book presents reviewed and revised full versions of papers presented at a workshop on the topic held during KDD'99 in San Diego, California, USA in August 1999 complemented by several invited chapters and a detailed introductory survey in order to provide complete coverage of the relevant issues. The contributions presented...

The KDXD 2006 (Knowledge Discovery from XML Documents) workshop is the ?rst international workshop running this year in conjunction with the 10th Paci?c-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, PAKDD 2006. The workshop provided an important forum for the dissemination and exchange of new ideas and research related to XML data discovery and retrieval. The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has become a standard language for data representation and exchange. With the continuous growth in XML data sources, theabilitytomanagecollectionsofXMLdocumentsanddiscoverkno- edge from them for...
