Description
 
The 6th Annual Biotechnology & Bioinformatics Symposium, BIOT-2009, will showcase research and development activities in bioinformatics & computational biology, and biotechnology, promoting future interdisciplinary activity and research in these areas. Speakers will be invited from both accepted papers and abstracts. Accepted papers and abstracts will be printed in the proceedings. Abstracts for poster presentations will also be accepted.

We invite contributions in any area of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, theoretical as well as practical. This year the following topics are particularly emphasized:

Machine learning application in bioinformatics
Distributed database, semantic Web, and ontologies
Intelligent user interface and decision support
Omics approaches and systems biology
High-throughput sequencing technologies and related data analysis
RNA interference, microRNA, epigenetics
Bioinformatics application in plant science and plant biotechnology
Molecular evolution, phylogeny, and phylogenomics
Education in computational biology and bioinformatics

Please see the BIOT-2009 website (http://www.biotconf.org/) for more information on paper/abstract submissions and registration.

**Please note that the submission deadline for full papers and 2-page abstracts (for oral presentation) has been extended to July 22, 2009. However, if you need more time to submit a full paper, we will try to accommodate it. Please email Barbara Gnirk, bgnirk1@unl.edu as early as possible, but BEFORE July 22, 2009 to let us know. **
