SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
APBC2007 invites high-quality original papers on any topic
related to Bioinformatics. Papers should be no more than 10 pages
in length conforming to the formatting instructions for the series
Advances in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (instructions
available at the APBC2007 website). Papers will be
judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity.
Authors should submit a PDF file according to the instructions on the
APBC2007 Paper Submission Website. The full paper must be
submitted by 15 July 2006.
The proceedings will be published as a volume in the series Advances in
Bioinformatics & Computational Biology by Imperial College Press.
Expanded version of the best papers will be invited for publication
in the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
Inclusion of a paper in the proceedings is contingent on one of the
authors registering and presenting at the conference.
