Dear colleague, ISBRA 2013 is now seeking submissions for Short Abstracts, with a deadline of April 1. The conference provides a pathway to publication of a manuscript for research submitted in the short abstract form. Accepted short abstracts will be distributed electronically, and selected for either oral or poster presentation at the symposium. The authors of selected short abstracts will be invited to submit full versions to a peer-reviewed supplement to be published after the symposium by BMC Bioinformatics<http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcbioinformatics/>. Submissions may be made through the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isbra2013. Instructions and format for preparation of short abstracts are available at that site.
Online registration for the conference is now available at http://isbra2013.uncc.edu. We look forward to seeing you at ISBRA 2013! Cynthia Gibas, General Chair Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics University of North Carolina at Charlotte * * *Call for Papers*** *9th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications* May 20-22, 2013, Charlotte, NC http://isbra2013.uncc.edu The *International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications* (ISBRA) provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and results among researchers, developers, and practitioners working on all aspects of bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications. Submissions presenting original research are solicited in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Biomedical databases and data integration High-performance bio-computing Biomolecular imaging High-throughput sequencing data analysis Bio-ontologies Molecular evolution Comparative genomics and phylogenomics Molecular modeling and simulation Computational genetic epidemiology Pattern discovery and classification Computational proteomics Population genetics Data mining and visualization Software tools and applications Gene expression analysis Structural biology Genome analysis Systems biology We seek two categories of submissions: *extended abstracts* of up to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format, and *short abstracts* of up to 4 pages. Both types of submissions must be made electronically by following the instructions at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isbra2013. Submission implies willingness of at least one author to register and present at the symposium. Accepted extended abstracts will be published prior to the symposium in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series and presented orally at the symposium. Full versions of selected extended abstracts presented at the symposium will be invited to a peer-reviewed special issue of *IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics* <http://www.computer.org/tcbb/>*.* Accepted short abstracts will be distributed electronically and selected for either oral or poster presentation at the symposium. The authors of selected short abstracts will be invited to submit full versions to a peer-reviewed supplement to be published after the symposium by BMC Bioinformatics<http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcbioinformatics/> . Per current BMC policies, full versions of extended abstracts published in LNBI are *not* eligible for publication in the BMC supplement. *KEY DATES* *Extended Abstracts (12 pages)* *Short Abstracts (4 pages)*** *Submission deadline* * February 6, 2013* *April 1, 2013* *Notification of acceptance* *February 27, 2013* * April 15, 2013* *Final version due* * March 8, 2013* * April 22, 2013* *Steering Committee** *** *General Chair* *Program Chairs* *Dan Gusfield *(UC Davis) *Ion Mandoiu* (UConn) *Yi Pan* (GSU), Chair *Marie-France Sagot* (INRIA) *Alexander Zelikovsky (*GSU) *Cynthia Gibas *(UNCC) *Finance Chair* *Larry Mays* (UNCC) *Local Arrangements Chair* *Zhengchang Su* (UNCC)** *Zhipeng Cai *(GSU) *Oliver Eulenstein* (Iowa) *Daniel Janies* (UNCC) *Daniel Schwartz *(UConn) If you wish to unsubscribe from these messages, it is easy to do.
