International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2006
Hong Kong, 20-22 June, 2006
The 2006 IAENG International Workshop on Bioinformatics (IWB'06)
The IWB'06 workshop is held as part of the International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2006. The IMECS 2006 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), and serves as good platforms for the engineering community members to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. Extended version of the papers under this workshop can be included in the special issue of our journal Engineering Letters. And, further extended version can also be included in a book called "Current Trends in Bioinformatics" to be published by IAENG.
Bioinformatics refers to the using of computational tools in biological research to analyze or predict the composition of molecules (nucleic acids, proteins, etc.) and model biologic systems. It needs the techniques from applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science to solve biological problems.
The topics of the IWB'06 include, but not limited to, the following:
|
Sequence analysis Genome annotation Computational evolutionary biology Gene expression analysis Protein expression analysis |
Analysis of mutations in cancer and other diseases Structure prediction Preserving biodiversity Modeling biological systems Software tools And other applications |
