The 12th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
BICOB-2020 will be held March 23 - 25, 2020 in San Francisco, CA, USA.
BICOB'2020 will provide an ideal venue for bioinformatics and computational
biology researchers to present, discuss and publish their research work,
results and outcomes. We seek original contributions in the fields of
bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, medical informatics and
the related areas, in the form of scientific papers for presentation in the
conference and publication in the conference proceedings. The conference
includes a Best
Paper Award to
be given during the conference banquet. BICOB'2020 also encourages
work-in-progress and research results in the emerging and evolutionary computational
areas. 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, biomedical ontologies,
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, population genetics.
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. Also, query languages, interoperability, bio-ontology and
bio-data mining.
Genetics
and population analysis: Linkage analysis, association analysis,
population simulation, haplotyping, marker discovery, genotype calling.
Systems
biology:
Systems approaches to molecular biology, multiscale modeling, pathways, gene
networks, transcriptomics - microarray data analysis, proteomics, epigenomics.
Healthcare
Informatics:
Healthcare data acquisition, analysis and mining. Clinical decision support
systems, and healthcare information systems.
Computational
Proteomics: Filtering
and indexing sequence databases, Peptide quantification and identification,
Genome annotations via mass spectrometry, Identification of post-translational
modifications, Structural genomics via mass spectrometry, Protein-protein
interactions, Computational approaches to analysis of large scale Mass
spectrometry data, Exploration and visualization of proteomic data, Data models
and integration for proteomics and genomics, Querying and retrieval of
proteomics and genomics data, ...etc.
Publication and Indexing:
Accepted papers in BICOB-2020 will be
published (full text online) in EasyChair (EPiC series) and will be indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar,
EI, and INSPEC, and submitted to DBLP for indexing. Papers will be also be
online at www.searchDL.org
Journal Publication:
Authors of selected papers in BICOB-2020 will
be invited to submit extended version of their papers for possible publication
in the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
(JBCB).
