Travel Support: 8th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications

研讨会涵盖了生物信息学研究的所有领域，从比较基因组学和群体遗传学到结构预测和蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络。被接受的扩展摘要将作为一卷出版在施普林格Verlag的生物信息学讲座笔记系列中，而简短的摘要将在网上和CD-ROM上出版。除了提供摘要外，技术计划还将包括教程，小组讨论和海报会议，并将邀请该领域杰出研究人员进行主题演讲。在研讨会上发表的精选摘要的完整版本将被邀请发表在IEEE/ ACM计算生物学和生物信息学交易和BMC生物信息学的同行评议特刊上。研讨会为具有互补专业知识的研究人员之间的互动提供了充分的机会，从而促进了新的合作。

The symposium covers all areas of bioinformatics research, ranging from comparative genomics and population genetics to structure prediction and protein-protein interaction networks. Accepted extended abstracts will be published as a volume in the Springer Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series, while short abstracts will be published online and on CD-ROM. In addition to contributed abstracts, the technical program will include tutorials, panel discussions, and poster sessions, and will feature invited keynote talks by distinguished researchers in the field. Full versions of selected abstracts presented at the symposium will be invited to peer-reviewed special issues of IEEE/ ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and BMC Bioinformatics. The symposium provides ample opportunities for interaction between researchers with complementary expertise thus fostering new collaborations.
