ACM-BCB2010 - Call for Papers  View Printable Version  
Monday, November 16 2009 @ 02:21 PM CST
Contributed by: Chris


ACM International Conference On Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM-BCB 2010)

August 2-4, Niagara Falls, New York, USA

ACM-BCB Website: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/ACM-BCB2010

 

ACM is pleased to announce that it has taken over sponsorship of the former International Joint Conference on Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, and Intelligent Computing (IJCBS), and will be holding the newly renamed International Conference On Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM-BCB) in August 2010 in Niagara Falls, NY. This conference builds on the success of IJCBS 2009 in Shanghai, and is the start of ACM’s efforts to better support the bioinformatics and computational biology community.

They invite you to submit papers with unpublished, original research describing recent advances on all aspects of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. All papers will undergo peer review by the conference program committee; accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings (in CD) and in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their papers for submission to several journals.

They also invite you to submit tutorial/workshop proposals focusing on problems and new challenges of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Submit your proposal to tutorial/workshop chairs.

Papers should not exceed 10 pages in ACM template on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see ACM templates at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Papers should be submitted via the link (https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/BCB2010/).

LSUS/LSUHSC-S Spring 2010, Introduction to Bioinformatics class  View Printable Version  
Friday, October 23 2009 @ 12:35 PM CDT
Contributed by: Chris


Introduction to principles, concepts, methods, techniques, algorithms, tools and strategies to transform and process the masses of information from biological experiments, focusing particularly on biological sequence data. Covers topics such as pairwise sequence alignment, gene detection, protein structure prediction, analysis of microarray gene expression data, gene mapping, comparative genomics, genome evolution, data mining, visualization and Perl programming (from the basics to BioPerl). We will also discuss the use of high performance computing in processing large amounts of data. This course consists of lectures and in-class, hands-on real life exercises.

14th Information Visualisation in Biomedical Informatics  View Printable Version  
Tuesday, June 16 2009 @ 02:25 PM CDT
Contributed by: Chris


The IVBI symposium is soliciting original manuscripts in the area of information visualisation applied to all kinds of biomedical data, including genomic and proteomic data. One of the great challenges is the presentation of and interaction with large and complex data sets. The need for integrated methods and creative strategies has provided an opportunity for novel solutions. We encourage submissions of new techniques, old techniques applied in novel ways, new methods, interesting applications and in-depth
surveys. Peer-reviewed publications will be published in official symposium proceedings (with an ISBN number) by the IEEE Computer Society in print and online and will be indexed by major indexing services.

Examples of application topics include (not limited to)
• Microarray data, design and analysis
• Nucleotide and protein sequence alignment
• Sequence analysis, comparison and alignment networks
• Evolution
• Genomics
• Signaling pathways, biochemical networks
• Systems biology
• Mass spectrometry
• Patient records and other medical applications
• Interactions with large data sets
• Annotation and labeling
• Linking literature and semantics in pathway visualizations
• Systems-level analysis of experimental data
• Overview and detail presentation of predictive or uncertain data
• Identification of relationships in disparate data sets
• Comparative methods / user studies / surveys
• etc.

 

The submission deadline is March 15, 2010.

The conference will be held in London, England July 14, 2010.

First in U.S. - LSU Access Grid in Life Sciences meets Global Quality Assurance standard  View Printable Version  
Tuesday, November 11 2008 @ 10:56 AM CST
Contributed by: JohnQ

AccessGrid

The LSU Life Sciences Access Grid node has become part of the Global Quality Assurance Program for Access Grid nodes. This program was built by Jason Bell at CQU in Australia to provide and maintain a high standard of communication between Access Grid node sites and presented at previous Access Grid Retreats. An increasing number of nodes are meeting or requiring this level of quality assurance or "QA". Nodes in Australia, Canada, and England, with several others around the world have met this requirement. LSU is the first in the U.S. to do this.

Anyone meeting with a site that has been QA'd will know they are meeting with a site that meets a high level of quality without wasting time troubleshooting networking, audio, and operational issues. In addition, this node is able to begin QA'ing other nodes in the state of Louisiana. A list of available testers are listed here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qatesters

Information about the QA process is available here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qa-program

The list of registered Access Grid nodes on the Access Grid website here: http://www.accessgrid.org/nodes, nodes that are QA'd are checked in red. LSU's Life Sciences node, listed here, was the first in the state to be built in 2002 with the help of funding from then LSU Capital (now CCT), the LSU College of Basic Sciences, and funding from NIH IDeA program is gratefully acknowledged on this website.
