ISMB 2012 introduces oral poster presentations for a select group of outstanding posters. Works deemed exceptional in original review were passed on to three other reviewers each for further consideration. 24 posters were selected for oral presentations (8-minute talk) on the first day of the conference. These Oral Poster Presentations will also be considered for "best poster" awards.

Note: The presenting authors should be available to further discuss their poster content during regular poster-presentation times.
