Description |
|
| The Eighth Annual Meeting of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS 2011) aims at presenting some of the hottest achievements in Bioinformatics, as well as a landscape of Italian Bioinformatics research. It is also intended to allow young researchers to present their work in a collaborative and supporting atmosphere. BITS 2011 will include keynote lectures, oral communications, posters presentations and tutorials. Social activities will include a guided tour of the Certosa di Calci and the Museum of Natural History of the University of Pisa (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisa_Charterhouse) and social dinner. Invited Speakers * Arthur Lesk (confirmed). Penn State University, PA, USA * Cedric Notredame (confirmed). CRG, Barcelona * Bud Mishra (confirmed). New York University, NY, USA. * Marie-France Sagot (confirmed). INRIA-Lyon, France Topics Submitted contributions should address novel bioinformatics methods, algorithms, databases, tools and applications for research and development in one or more of the following domains: * Genomics * Molecular Evolution and Comparative Genomics * Protein structure and function * Proteomics * Transcriptomics * Metagenomics * Systems Biology * Biological Databases and Biobanks * Algorithms for Bioinformatics * Biophysics and Synthetic Biology * Industrial Track In addition to the usual topics of general pertinence in Bioinformatics, this meeting will cover two new areas: * Biophysics and Synthetic biology (as Structural Biology and Origin of Life themes are in common between these disciplines and Bioinformatics) * Industrial track: in cooperation with Fondazione Toscana Life-Sciences, with the goal to have a parallel discussion of the possible industrial applications of the scientific subjects discussed during the sessions. This list is by no means exclusive of any further topics in the field of Bioinformatics. Instructions Abstracts must be submitted through the Abstracts submission form available on the conference web site. All abstracts must be written in English and structured in the following sections: Motivation, Methods, Results. Abstracts’ length cannot be greater than 5,000 characters or 4,000 characters (spaces included) when a figure is also included. Proceedings. All accepted contributions will be published in an abstracts’ book with ISBN. Selected abstracts will be invited to contribute in extended form to a special issue of BMC Bioinformatics Supplement devoted to BITS 2011.
