Overton Prize
The ISCB Overton Prize is a Awards in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, computational biology prize awarded annually for outstanding accomplishment by a scientist in the early to mid stage of his or her career. Laureates have made significant contribution to the field of computational biology either through research, education, service, or a combination of the three. The prize was established by the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in memory of a major contributor to the field of bioinformatics and member of the ISCB Board of Directors who died unexpectedly in 2000. The Overton Prize is traditionally awarded at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference. Laureates Laureates include *2022 - *2021 - Barbara Engelhardt *2020 - *2019 - Christophe Dessimoz *2018 - Cole Trapnell *2017 - Christoph Bock *2016 - Debora Marks *2015 - Curtis Huttenhower *2014 - Dana Pe'er *2013 - Gonçalo Abecasis *2012 - Ziv Bar-Joseph *2011 - Olga Troya ...

Jim Kent
William James Kent (born February 10, 1960) is an American research scientist and computer programmer. He has been a contributor to genome database projects and the 2003 winner of the Benjamin Franklin Award. Early life Kent was born in Hawaii and grew up in San Francisco, California, United States. Computer animation Kent began his programming career in 1983 with Island Graphics Inc. where he wrote the Aegis Animator program for the Amiga home computer. This program combined polygon tweening in 3D with simple 2D cel-based animation. In 1985 he founded and ran a software company, Dancing Flame, which adapted the Aegis Animator to the Atari ST, and created Cyber Paint for that machine. Cyber Paint was a 2D animation program that brought together a wide variety of animation and paint functionality and the delta-compressed animation format developed for CAD-3D. The user could move freely between animation frames and paint arbitrarily, or utilize various animation tools for a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
