The Iberoamerican Society of Bioinformatics (SoIBio) is an international scientific society, founded in 2009 to connect several collaborative projects of various research groups from Iberoamerica working in the emerging field of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. SoIBio aims to promote research and development in the field of bioinformatics. Therefore, individuals, national societies or groups going to work in this field will be supported both academically and professionally. It is a platform to foster interaction and collaboration with other international societies and networks that work in the same field.
X International Conference on Bioinformatics - Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of SoIBio and 10th Anniversary of the Master in Bioinformatics Uruguay. Montevideo - 28th - 30th October
The Master degree in Bioinformatics was created ten years ago by the Universidad de la República (Uruguayan public university) and the Programa de Desarrollo de Ciencias Básicas (PEDECIBA - Program for the Development of Basic Sciences). It is a multidisciplinary and multicentric career with more than 100 active students and more than 20 graduates. Its aim is to stimulate synergic research activities between diverse areas such as Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Informatics in Uruguay and in the Region. Besides, the initiative seeks to promote an emerging bioinformatics identity in the country, incorporating students and academics into the field. In October 2019, both the SOIBIO and the Master’s in Bioinformatics will celebrate in a joint meeting to commemorate our existence.

Special Issue of Biomolecules Journal
Anyone who wants to propose an ARTICLE for the special issue of Biomolecules, must first send an ABSTRACT to soibiosec@fq.edu.uy
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
ALL registered participants in the #SoIBio+10 Conference (28–30 October 2019, Montevideo, UR) can propose publishing a full research PAPER to a Special Issue of Biomolecules.
A selection of about 12 full articles will be done to be published in the journal Biomolecules (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/biomolecules), in the Special Issue called "Bioinformatics for Precision Biomolecular Data Mining: Progress in Latin America - Selected Papers from the X International Conference on Bioinformatics #SoIBio+10". This special issue will be included in the section of this Journal: "Bioinformatics and Systems Biology".
PLEASE, SUBMIT your PAPER according to the following conditions and dates:
- Open till mid October. ARTICLE PROPOSAL — Before going to the full submission, the authors should send to this address (jrivas@usal.es or tapia@cifasis-conicet.gov.ar) a simple draft PROPOSING an ARTICLE in a .DOC file with a maximum 3 pages including: TITLE, AUTHORS, ABSTRACT [max. 400 words], RESULTS brief description [max. 1000 words], Statement of MAIN CONTRIBUTION [100 words], some REFERENCES. This PROPOSAL should be correlated with a communication that the authors also had sent to #SoIBio+10 Conference (https://sites.google.com/view/soibio19/).
- From 30 September to 30 October. FULL PAPER SUBMISSION in the website of the Journal — Time for the authors for preparation and submission of the FULL PAPER following the regular format asked by Biomolecules (see Instructions for Authors - Submission Guidelines)
- From 31 October to 10 December. PEER REVIEW — Time for full review of each submitted article by at least two independent reviewers. The revision of the papers will be managed by the Special Editors assigned to this Biomolecules Special Issue. At the end of this process, the Editors will indicate to the authors which are the final ACCEPTED ARTICLES. (Written reviews and answers will be needed along all this process).
- From 11 December to 31 December. SUBMISSION FOR PUBLICATION — Submission of the final article, revised and corrected. The manuscripts should be prepared for publication following Biomolecules Special Issue Submission Guidelines. Once received by the journal, the editorial office from Biomolecules will get the final edition and publication on-line as soon as it is finalized. AT THIS POINT (i.e. in December 2019), the authors of each article (or their institutions) should pay to Biomolecules the "Article-Processing Charges" (APC) that will be: 960 CHF (corresponding to about 970 USD) This price represents a 20% reduction on the normal price of an article in Biomolecules. Biomolecules MDPI editorial office will provide a formal INVOICE to the authors of each accepted article.
All communication about proposals and articles should be made to this mail:
The EDITORS of this Biomolecules Special Issue will be:
- Professor Dr. Javier De Las Rivas (jrivas@usal.es) (University of Salamanca/CSIC, Spain)
- Professor Dra. Elizabeth Tapia (tapia@cifasis-conicet.gov.ar) (University of Rosario/CONICET, Argentina)
