[TOPICS]
Genome Informatics Workshop (GIW) is the longest running international 
bioinformatics conference, which has provided unique opportunities that 
bridge theory and experiments, academia and industry, and East and West. 
This year's GIW is the 20th anniversary. 
The scope includes all work that is ultimately devoted to the computational 
understanding of biological systems on a molecular basis and the aims are 
to present recent results of both theoretical and practical research, 
to show new applications, to demonstrate systems, and to indicate 
directions of future research.
