Algorithms in Molecular Biology (ALBIO'08) Workshop held in parallel with
2nd International Conference on Bioinformatics Research and Development (BIRD'08)

LOCALE: Technical University of Vienna, Austria
DATES: July 7-9, 2008

BACKGROUND

Computational Molecular Biology has emerged from the Human Genome Project as an important discipline for academic research and industrial application. The exponential growth of the size of biological databases, the complexity of biological problems and the necessity to deal with errors in biological sequences, result in time efficiency and memory requirements. The development of fast, low memory requirements and high-performances algorithms is thus increasingly important in Computational Molecular Biology.

We are interested in papers that deal with algorithms that solve fundamental and/or applied problems in Molecular Biology, that are computationally efficient, that have been implemented and experimented on simulated and/or on real biological sequences, and that provide interesting new results. The submitted papers should present recent research results and identify and explore directions for future research. Topics include, but not limited to: (i) strings processing, (ii) biological sequences comparison, (iii) structures prediction, (iv) phylogeny reconstruction, (v) DNA sequences assembly, clustering, and mapping, (vi) molecular evolution, (vii) genes prediction/recognition, (viii) gene expression (ix ) haplotyping (x) genomes rearrangement (xi), and string barcoding.
