MLCB Workshop Joins MLCSB COSI
On October 1st 2018, the Machine Learning in Computational Biology (MLCB, mlcb.org) workshop joined the Community of Special Interest for "Machine Learning in Computational and Systems Biology” (MLCSB) of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). Joining forces of MLCB and MLCSB, the community will provide a common platform for all research activities at the interface of machine learning and computational and systems biology. Continuing MLCB's and MLCSB's successful track records of past workshops and conference sessions, MLCSB plans to host at least one conference session at the Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology (ISMB) Conference and one additional workshop per year. More information will be available on the COSI webpage http://cosi.iscb.org/wiki/MLCSB:Home) and through the Google group (https://groups.google.com/a/iscb.org/forum/#!forum/mlcsb.cosi).


Call for Papers: RECOMB 2019 - Deadline: October 30, 2018
The RECOMB conference series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for advances in computational biology and applications in molecular biology and medicine. The conference aims at bridging the computational, mathematical, statistical, and biological sciences, and bringing together researchers, professionals, students and industrial practitioners from all over the world for interaction and exchange of new developments in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology. The conference will feature keynote talks by leading scientists, presentations of peer-reviewed high-quality research papers, presentations of exciting research developments that were published within the past year and poster sessions on latest research progress.

NIH Seeks Public Comment on Proposed Provisions for a Future Draft Data Management and Sharing Policy
On October 10, 2018, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a Request for Information (RFI) in the NIH Guide to Grants and Contracts to solicit public input on proposed key provisions that could serve as the foundation for a future NIH policy for data management and sharing. The feedback we obtain will help to inform the development of a draft NIH policy for data management and sharing, which is expected to be released for an additional public comment period upon its development. Comments on the proposed key provisions will be accepted through December 10, 2018.
