BRAZILIAN SYMPOSIUM ON BIOINFORMATICS 2018

BSB 2018 - OCT.30-NOV.1 - 2018 - RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL

http://bsb2018.ic.uff.br/ bsb2018@ic.uff.br

The Brazilian Symposium on Bioinformatics 2018 will take place in
Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Oct.30-Nov.1, 2018.

BSB provides a general forum for presentation and discussion of
original research on COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, BIOINFORMATICS and SYSTEMS
BIOLOGY. BSB 2018 would like to attract contributions from academic
and industrial researchers, both in the exact sciences (computer
science, mathematics and statistics) and in the life sciences
(molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, medicine, microbiology and
others).

As in past years, BSB 2018 will accept both full papers (for oral
presentation) and short papers, as well as abstracts (to be presented
as posters). Proceedings containing accepted full papers will be
published as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series,
from Springer. We also expect to have best papers invited for revised
and expanded submission to a special issue in an international bioinformatics
journal.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

- Molecular Sequence Analysis, Motifs, and Pattern Matching
- Biological Databases, Data Management and Data Integration
- Biological Data Mining and Machine Learning
- Structural and Functional Genomics
- Comparative Genomics
- Protein Structure and Modeling
- Gene Identification, Regulation and Expression
- Gene Networks
- Molecular Evolution and Phylogenetics
- Computational Systems Biology
- Computational Proteomics
- Statistical Analysis of Molecular Sequences
- Big data applications and visualization in bioinformatics
