You are cordially invited to submit a full original manuscript for
consideration to publish
in the 11th international conference on Bioinformatics and Computational
Biology (InCoB2012).
Depending on the submission tracks, selected papers will be published in
one of the four
journals, namely BMC Genomics (supplement), BMC Bioinformatics
(supplement), Journal of
Immunological Methods or Science Asia. The theme for this year was set to
promote the
advancement of bioinformatics and computational biology and encourage the
exchange of
scientific breakthrough amongst participants. We would like to encourage
submissions of
bioinformatics and related topics from various fields including (but not
limited to)
agroinformatics, population genetics, drug design and discovery, systems
biology,
biological sequence analysis, expression data analysis, scalable data
storage.
In addition to the aforementioned paper track, we also accept the
submission of an abstract
to be presented in a poster session. All accepted abstracts will be
published in book of
abstracts.
Like prior years, we use EasyChair to manage submissions. Authors are
requested to
submit their original manuscripts/abstracts through your choice of journal
and/or poster tracks.
There are four journal tracks: 1) BMC Genomics full paper, 2) BMC
Bioinformatics full paper,
3) Journal of Immunological Methods full paper, and 4) Science Asia full
paper. For the abstract
submission, there are four more tracks: 1) Poster abstract, and 2)
Technology/Demo abstract
Authors/contributors can use the following disciplines and non-exclusive
list of topics
as their guidance to submit papers/abstracts to the conference:
• Agroinformatics
• Biological sequence analysis
• Genomics and proteomics
• Metabolomics and other -omics
• Bio-ontology and semantics
• Genomic manipulation
• Population Genetics
• Immuno-informatics
• Drug design and discovery
• Expression data analysis
• Disease bioinformatics
• Structural bioinformatics
• Systems biology
• Synthetic biology
• Developmental biology
• Next, next generation sequencing as a clinical tool
• Genetics of cell differentiation & reprogramming
• Data mining and knowledge discovery
• Bioinformatics models, methods & algorithms
• Workflow and Knowledge Management
