The 2019 International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
BICOB-2019 is one of the front platforms for disseminating latest research
results and techniques in bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, and
medical informatics. BICOB-2019 is the 11th year of the conference and will be
held between 18-20 March 2019 in Honolulu, HI, USA. BICOB-2019 will provide a
vibrant atmosphere and venue for bioinformatics and computational biology
scientists to present and publish their research results, investigations, and
studies. In recent years, most areas of bioinformatics, computational biology,
and medical informatics have experienced significant advances driven by
computational techniques and big data. Moreover, bioinformatics and
computational biology continue to be a vibrant research area with broadening
applications and new emerging challenges. BICOB-2019 seeks original and
high-quality contributions in the fields of bioinformatics, computational
biology, systems biology, medical informatics and the related areas. The
conference includes a Best Paper Award to be presented during the conference
banquet. We also encourage work in progress and research results in the
emerging and evolutionary computational areas. Work in the computational
methods related to, or with application in, bioinformatics is also encouraged
including computational intelligence and its application in bioinformatics,
bio-data mining and text mining, evolutionary algorithms, nature-inspired
computation, machine learning and bio-NLP, biomedical ontology, biomathematics,
modeling and simulation, pattern recognition, data visualization,
biostatistics. The topics of interest include (and are not limited to):
* Genome analysis: Genome assembly, Next-Gen genomics and metagenomics, genome
and chromosome annotation, gene finding, alternative splicing, EST analysis and
comparative genomics.
* Sequence analysis: Multiple sequence alignment, sequence search and
clustering, next-generation sequencing NGS, function prediction, motif
discovery, functional site recognition in protein, RNA and DNA sequences.
* Phylogenetics: Phylogeny estimation, models of evolution, comparative
biological methods, and population genetics.
* Systems biology: Systems approaches to molecular biology,
multiscale modeling, pathways, gene networks, transcriptomics - microarray data
analysis, proteomics, and epigenomics.
* Healthcare Informatics: Healthcare data acquisition, analysis and mining.
Clinical decision support systems, and healthcare information systems.
* Structural Bioinformatics: Structure matching, prediction, analysis and
comparison; methods and tools for docking; protein design
* Analysis of high-throughput biological data: Microarrays (nucleic acid,
protein, array CGH, genome tiling, and other arrays), EST, SAGE, MPSS,
proteomics, mass spectrometry, query languages, interoperability, bio-ontology
and bio-data mining.
* Genetics and population analysis: Linkage analysis, association analysis,
population simulation, haplotyping, marker discovery, and genotype calling.
Moreover, BICOB welcomes submissions in all areas of computing with impact on
life sciences including algorithms, databases, languages, systems, and
high-performance computing. For example: Parallel and high-performance
techniques, computational biology on emerging architectures and hardware
accelerators.
Journal Publication:
Authors of selected high quality papers in BICOB-2019 will be invited to submit
extended version of their papers for possible publication in bioinformatics
journals including the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
(JBCB) (selected papers in previous BICOB conferences were published in JBCB).
Important Dates:
Paper Submission Deadline: October 31, 2018
