BIOKDD 2011 : 10th International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics Bookmark and Share
Bahamas - CA - San Diego

Hosted by: SIGKDD
Venue: Grand Manchester Hyatt
Dates: Aug 21, 2011 through Aug 21, 2011

Call for Proceedings Presentations: 2011-05-01 through 2011-05-14
 
Description
 
The goal of this workshop is to encourage KDD researchers to take on the numerous challenges that Bioinformatics offers. This year, the workshop will feature the theme of “Data Mining Challenges in Next‐generation Sequencing (NGS)”. NGS is revolutionizing biological, biomedical, and health research. There are enormous data analysis and knowledge discovery challenges in the NGS technology, including expression analysis, mutational analysis, alternative slicing pattern discovery, whole transcription sequence alignment, epigenetics site discovery, storing and compression of high volume sequence data and clustering and classification of structural variations in a population.

We encourage papers that propose novel data mining techniques for post-genome bioinformatics studies in areas such as:

NGS data processing
Genome structural variation analysis
Exome sequencing
Comparative assessment of data qualities between NGS and microarray-based technology
Comparative Genomics
Metagenomics using NGS
RNA‐seq expression analysis
Genome‐wide analysis of non‐coding RNAs
Mutational analysis and disease risk assessment
Genome‐wide motif finding
Modeling of biological networks and pathways from NGS data
NGS and structural bioinformatics applications
Correlating NGS with proteomics data analysis
Biomarker discoveries in NGS data
Gene functional annotation
Special biological data management techniques for NGS data
Special information visualization techniques for NGS data analysis
Semantic webs and ontology‐driven NGS data integration methods
Knowledge discovery of genotype‐phenotype associations in NGS
Privacy and security issues in mining genomic databases

Papers should be at most 10 pages long, single-spaced, in font size 10 or larger with one-inch margins on all sides. Paper should be submitted in PDF/PS format through Easychar at the following link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=biokdd2011

Camera-ready format papers may be referenced from previous BIOKDD conference proceedings (e.g., BIOKDD10)
