Call For Papers

BITS 2013 Call for Abstracts

Submissions are invited for poster and oral contributions to the annual meeting of the Bioinformatics Italian Society (BITS), which will be held in Udine on May 21–23, 2013.

Topics covered during the conference include (but are not limited to):

Genomics
Transcriptomics
Next Generation Sequencing
Metagenomics
Molecular Evolution
Comparative Genomics
Pharmacogenomics
Protein structure and function
Proteomics
Systems Biology
Biological Databases
Biobanks
Algorithms for Bioinformatics
Genomics of Disease



In addition to the traditional panels, this year the Call includes the following Special Sessions proposed by members of the Society:

Algorithmic and statistical analysis of high throughput sequencing data
Bioinformatics of protein-protein interactions
Multicellular and Multi-scale Models of Biological Systems



A detailed description of the Special Sessions is available at the end of this Call.

Contributions will be accepted for both traditional and special sessions and should address novel bioinformatics methods, algorithms, databases, tools and applications for research and development.

Abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and accepted for oral communication and poster presentation or rejected in case they do not match the scientific standards of the conference. Two or three anonymous referees will evaluate each abstract. We encourage the authors to use the maximum space available in the submission form in order to describe at the best their work and results.

Accepted abstracts will be collected in the conference proceedings.

Negotiations are ongoing for the publication of a Supplement of BMC Bioinformatics (or other international journals) with full articles dedicated to the subjects presented at the conference as poster or oral communications.

Abstract submission requires early registration to the conference of the presenting author after the acceptance notification.
