International Journal of computational biology and Drug Design
Special Issue on Advances in Computational Biology and Genomics
Call for papers
Computational Biology and Genomics refers to the use of computational analysis to decipher biology from genome sequences and related data, including both DNA and RNA sequences, as well as other "post-genomic" data. The biomedical research field has progressed significantly over the last few years primarily due to the advancement of technologies such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and shotgun proteomics technologies have been rapidly applied in biomedical and biological research since their introduction. Transforming genomic and proteomic information into biological knowledge requires creative and innovative new computational approaches. With the current abundance of massive biological datasets, computational studies have become one of the most important avenues for biological discovery.
We invite investigators to contribute original research articles, as well as review articles, that will stimulate the continuing efforts in Computational Biology and Genomics for more efficient analysis of big genomics data. Manuscripts submitted to this special issue are guaranteed to have a quick review process and accepted articles will be published without any publication fee. Potential topics for the special issue include, but are not limited to:
• Functional genomics
• Evolutionary genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Metagenomics
• Epigenomics, non-coding RNA analysis, DNA methylation analysis
• Proteomic data analysis
• Expression analysis
• Network and pathway analysis
• Advanced genomic/proteomic data mining techniques
• New applications/tools for genomic/proteomic analysis
