Molecular evolution
Molecular modeling and simulation
Next-generation sequencing data analysis
Pattern discovery and classification
Population genetics
Software tools and applications
Structural biology
Systems biology


PAPER SUMBISSSION

Please submit extended abstracts (up to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format) via the online submission system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isbra2017). Submission implies willingness of at least one author to register and present at the symposium. The authors should choose one of the following tracks:

Track 1: Submit up to 12 pages in LNCS format for (i) publication of the extended abstract in the Springer LNBI proceedings and (ii) invitation to submit a 30-50%-extended version to ISBRA’17 special issues of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, IEEE Transactions on NanoBioscience, Tsinghua Science and Technology, or International Journal of Bioinformatics Research and Applications.

Track 2: Submit up to 12 pages in LNCS format for (i) publication of an abridged two-page abstract in the Springer LNBI proceedings and (ii) invitation to submit a full-length paper to ISBRA’17 special issues of BMC Bioinformatics or BMC Genomics.
