/BICOB2014/: In recent years, computational biology and medical 
informatics have seen significant advances driven by computational 
techniques in bioinformatics making bioinformatics and computational 
biology among the most vibrant research areas. The 6th international 
conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BICoB-2014) 
provides an excellent venue for researchers and practitioners in the 
fields of bioinformatics and computational biology to present and 
publish their research results and techniques. The BICoB conference 
seeks original and high quality papers in the fields of bioinformatics, 
computational biology, systems biology, medical informatics and the 
related disciplines. The conference also includes a *Best Paper 
Award*given during the conference banquet. We also encourage work in 
progress and research results in the emerging and evolutionary 
computational areas. Computational techniques have already enabled 
unprecedented advances in modern biology and medicine. Work in the 
computational methods related to, or with application in, bioinformatics 
is also encouraged including: data mining, text mining, machine 
learning, modeling and simulation, pattern recognition, data 
visualization, biostatistics, .etc. The topics of interest include (and 
are not limited to): *Genome analysis:*Genome assembly, genome 
annotation, gene finding, alternative splicing, EST analysis and 
comparative genomics.
*Sequence analysis:* Multiple sequence alignment, sequence search and 
clustering, function
      prediction, motif discovery, functional site recognition in 
protein, RNA and DNA sequences.
*Phylogenetics:* Phylogeny estimation, models of evolution, comparative 
biological methods,
      population genetics.
*Structural Bioinformatics:* Structure matching, prediction, analysis 
and comparison; methods
      and tools for docking; protein design
*Analysis of high-throughput biological data:* Microarrays (nucleic 
acid, protein, array CGH,
      genome tiling, and other arrays), EST, SAGE, MPSS, proteomics, 
mass spectrometry.
*Genetics and population analysis:* Linkage analysis, association 
analysis, population simulation,
      haplotyping, marker discovery, genotype calling.
*Systems biology:* Systems approaches to molecular biology, multiscale 
modeling, pathways,
      gene networks.
*Computational Proteomics: *Filtering and indexing sequence databases, 
Peptide quantification
      and identification, Genome annotations via mass spectrometry, 
Identification of post-translational
      modifications, Structural genomics via mass spectrometry, 
Protein-protein interactions,
      Computational approaches to analysis of large scale Mass 
spectrometry data, Exploration and
      visualization of proteomic data, Data models and integration for 
proteomics and genomics,
      Querying and retrieval of proteomics and genomics data etc.
