[BiO BB] Call for Abstracts: Deadline April 1

[ISBRA PC Chairs]

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!

*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.
