***************************************** The 19th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BICOB-2027) will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, between 22–23 March 2027. From its first edition in 2009 till now, BICOB instituted itself as one of the most established and well-known bioinformatics and computational biology conferences. The conference is committed to providing an active atmosphere and venue for bioinformatics and computational biology scientists to connect, present and publish their research outcomes, investigations, methods, and studies. BICOB-2027 includes a Best Paper Award to be presented during the conference banquet. BICOB-2027 seeks submissions and original contributions in bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, medical informatics and related areas. We also encourage work in progress and research results in the emerging and evolutionary computational areas. Work in the computational methods related to, or with application in, bioinformatics is also encouraged, including computational intelligence and its application in bioinformatics, bio-data mining and text mining, evolutionary algorithms, nature-inspired computation, machine learning and bio-NLP, biomedical ontology, biomathematics, modeling and simulation, pattern recognition, data visualization, biostatistics. The topics of interest include (and are not limited to):
Sequence analysis: Multiple sequence alignment, sequence search and clustering, next-generation sequencing NGS, function prediction, motif discovery, functional site recognition in protein, RNA and DNA sequences.
Genome analysis: Genome assembly, Next-Gen genomics and metagenomics, genome and chromosome annotation, gene finding, alternative splicing, EST analysis and comparative genomics.
Phylogenetics: Phylogeny estimation, models of evolution, comparative biological methods, population genetics.
Structural Bioinformatics: Structure matching, prediction, analysis and comparison; docking methods; protein design.
Analysis of high-throughput biological data: Microarrays (nucleic acid, protein, array CGH, genome tiling, and other arrays), EST, SAGE, MPSS, proteomics, mass spectrometry. Also, query languages, interoperability, bio-ontology and bio-data mining.
Genetics and population analysis: Linkage analysis, association analysis, population simulation, haplotyping, marker discovery, genotype calling.
Systems biology: Systems approaches to molecular biology, multiscale modeling, pathways, gene networks, transcriptomics - microarray data analysis, proteomics, epigenomics, Interactomics, Gene Expression, Post-translational Modifications.
Healthcare Informatics: Healthcare data acquisition, analysis and mining. Clinical decision support systems, and healthcare information systems.
Computational Proteomics: Filtering and indexing sequence databases, Peptide quantification and identification, Genome annotations via mass spectrometry, Identification of post-translational modifications, Structural genomics via mass spectrometry, Protein-protein interactions, Computational approaches to the analysis of large scale Mass spectrometry data, Exploration and visualization of proteomic data, Data models and integration for proteomics and genomics, Querying and retrieval of proteomics and genomics data, ...etc.
Bioinformatics of Diseases: with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Precision Medicine, Genome-Phenome Analysis, Biomarker Discovery, Pathogen bioinformatics.
All areas of computational and data-driven techniques with impact on life sciences are welcome, including big data, high-performance computing, GWAS, multi-omics studies; and emerging topics like Covid-19, Sars-Cov-2, and the related topics.
