Dear Colleagues,

We are writing to invite you to submit an article to the new International Journal of Knowledge Discovery in Bioinformatics (IJKDB): http://www.igi-global.com/ijkdb.

The mission of IJKDB is to increase awareness of interesting and challenging biomedical problems and to inspire new knowledge discovery solutions which can be translated into further biological and clinical studies. IJKDB provides a rapid forum for the dissemination of original research articles on computational knowledge discovery methods as well as discovery notes that report newly found biological discoveries using computational techniques. In addition to the original research articles, IJKDB emphasizes software and tools that exploit the knowledge discovery techniques for biological problems, and databases that contain useful biomedical data for the community. The journal also encompasses reviews and tutorials on relevant computational and experimental techniques for translational research and knowledge discovery in life sciences. We seek well-motivated, cross-disciplinary papers useful for researchers, practitioners, and academicians, mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists involved in the many facets of bioinformatics and translational research. Proposals for special issues, especially on emerging topics, are also welcome.

IJKDB is available in both print and electronic form to subscribers of the journal. The International Editorial Review Board of the journal consists of well-known experts in various areas of bioinformatics, with broad international representation. Please refer the attached Call for Papers and journal web site (http://www.igi-global.com/ijkdb) for more information.

We look forward to your submissions. In addition, we will greatly appreciate it if you can distribute the Call for Papers to your colleagues, students and other community members and encourage them to contribute to the journal. Thank you!



Sincerely,



Xiao-Li Li and See-Kiong Ng
