In the last few years there have been many developments in computational biology, particularly with regard to novel, imaginative exploitation of genomic data. Disappointingly, there has been a lack of progress in the methodology for prediction of protein structures. In the last several years, however, promising new methods have finally begun to emerge. These methods are increasing the power and scope of the methodology, but, most importantly, they are generating new areas of investigation that we believe will accelerate progress in the field. In this review we describe recent developments and highlight the implications of their success as well as areas where efforts should be focused.

Abstract
In the last few years there have been many developments in computational biology, particularly with regard to novel, imaginative exploitation of genomic data. Disappointingly, there has been a lack of progress in the methodology for prediction of protein structures. In the last several years, however, promising new methods have finally begun to emerge. These methods are increasing the power and scope of the methodology, but, most importantly, they are generating new areas of investigation that we believe will accelerate progress in the field. In this review we describe recent developments and highlight the implications of their success as well as areas where efforts should be focused.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
