[The lectures contained on this CD-ROM are given in an audio-visual format and will not be reviewed individually.] The workshop attempted to explain, to an audience of mathematical scientists and scientists in the biotech/pharmaceutical industry, what mathematics, statistics and computation have contributed, and are capable of contributing in the future, to the acquisition and interpretation of genomic data and to related areas of functional genomics. The invited talks were of several types: surveys of the challenges ahead as viewed by leaders of the field; descriptions of key new technological developments; and descriptions of how mathematics and computation have been applied to specific problems related to genomics and the analysis of biological systems at the cellular level. At this workshop the following lectures were given: \textit{D. Botstein}, Of genes and genomes; \textit{E. Branscomb}, Comparative genomics: What, why, problems and challenges; \textit{P. Green}, Genome sequence assembly; \textit{D. Haussler}, Using hidden Markov models for biosequence analysis: Recent tests and new methods; \textit{L. Hood}, Future mathematical challenges posed by the systems analysis of genomes and proteomes; \textit{P. Pevner}, Gene hunting without genomic sequencing: the twenty questions game with genes; \textit{D. Siegmund}, Statistical aspects of gene mapping; \textit{D. Slonim}, Mining gene expression data; \textit{G. Stormo}, Uncovering regulatory networks using pattern recognition algorithms; \textit{E. Wijsman}, Statistical and computational contributions to gene mapping: History and current developments.
