                  Bioinformatics Research and Applications

                           in conjunction with

                 2nd Workshop on Computational Issues in
                           Genetic Epidemiology

           Nova Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA
                           May 13-May 16, 2009


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. The fifth 
edition of the symposium will be held on May 13-May 16, 2009 at Nova 
Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA in conjunction with 
the 2nd Workshop on Computational Issues in Genetic Epidemiology.

The technical program features 6 invited keynote talks:

  * Web-based, participant-driven association studies: research at 23andMe
    Nick Eriksson (23andMe)

  * Evolution of Regulatory Systems in Bacteria
    Mikhail Gelfand (Russian Academy of Sciences)

  * Networks of Relatedness Within and Across Populations
    Itsik Pe'er (Columbia University)

  * Interpreting population sequencing data
    Shamil Sunyaev (Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School)

  * Bioinformatics Challenges in Translational Research
    Nicholas Tsinoremas (University of Miami)

  * Motif Construction from High-Throughput SELEX Data
    Esko Ukkonen (University of Helsinki)

The program includes contributed papers and posters covering a broad range 
of topics in bioinformatics and computational genetic epidemiology, 
including gene expression analysis, biological networks, comparative 
genomics, phylogenetics, structure prediction, DNA self-assembly, sequence 
analysis, population genomics, and genome-wide association studies.
