Call For Papers

Aims
AlCoB aims at promoting and displaying excellent research using string and graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization to deal with problems in biological sequence analysis, genome rearrangement, evolutionary trees, and structure prediction.

Previous events were held in Tarragona, Mexico City, and Trujillo.

The conference will address several of the current challenges in computational biology by investigating algorithms aimed at:
assembling sequence reads into a complete genome,
identifying gene structures in the genome,
recognizing regulatory motifs,
aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes,
reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and
inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species.
Particular focus will be put on methodology and significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career.

Organised by
Center for Research & Development in Mathematics and Applications (CIDMA). University of Aveiro.
Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro (IEETA). University of Aveiro.
Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC) from Rovira i Virgili University (URV)
Venue
AlCoB 2017 will take place in Aveiro, an industrial city with an important seaport on the Atlantic Ocean, and known as "the Portuguese Venice" due to its network of canals. The venue will be the Department of Mathematics of the University of Aveiro, Campus Universitário de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro.
