*_About BICOB_*
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.
