These twenty-five minute talks will highlight outstanding science that might not otherwise be presented at this ISMB - work that is novel, that is applied, that is motivating to hear about, and that which expands the subject areas that computational biologists traditionally have addressed. One-page abstracts were invited and reviewed, and twenty-three were selected for presentation and discussion in the PLoS Track, which runs in a parallel session to the Papers Presentations on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, July 8, 9 and 10. Please visit www.plos.org/news/event_ismb.html for more information and a full speaker list, or to view the full text of each abstract visit http://ismb2006.cbi.cnptia.embrapa.br/plos.html. _________________________ ISCB CO-SPONSORED CONFERENCE NEWS: Rocky '06 ...
