This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics, WABI 2014, held in Wroclaw, Poland, in September 2014. WABI 2014 was one of seven conferences that were organized as part of ALGO 2014. WABI is an annual conference series on all aspects of algorithms and data structure in molecular biology, genomics and phylogeny data analysis. The 26 full papers presented together with a short abstract were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. The selected papers cover a wide range of topics from sequence and genome analysis through phylogeny reconstruction and networks to mass spectrometry data analysis.
This book presents a selection of revised full papers accepted for presentation at the First International Conference on Biology, Informatics, and Mathematics, JOBIM 2000, held in Montpellier, France, in May 2000. The 13 papers included in the book were selected after two rounds of reviewing and revision from a total of 67 submissions. Among the topics addressed are algorithms, comparative genomics, evolution, phylogeny, databases, knowledge processing, genome anotation, graph theory, combinatorial mathematics, macromolecular structures, RNA and proteins, metabolic pathways and regulatory networks, and statistics and classification.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics, WABI 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, in September 2011. The 30 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. They cover aspects of algorithms in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology.
This is volume II of the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Natural Computation, ICNC 2006. After a demanding review process 168 carefully revised full papers and 86 revised short papers were selected from 1915 submissions for presentation in two volumes. The 124 papers in the second volume are organized in topical sections on additional topics in natural computation, natural computation techniques applications, hardware, and cross-disciplinary topics.
The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2008 is an international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in problems of biological significance. Presentations are rigorously peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2008 will be held on January 4-8, 2008 at the Fairmont Orchid, Big Island of Hawaii. Tutorials will be offered prior to the start of the conference.PSB 2008 will bring together top researchers from the US, the Asian Pacific nations, and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. It...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Comparative Genomics, RECOMB-CG 2018, held in Magog-Orford, QC, Canada, in October 2018. The 18 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The papers cover topics such as: genome rearrangements; genome sequencing; applied comparative genomics; reconciliation and coalescence; and phylogenetics.
The premiere two-volume reference on revelations from studying complex microbial communities in many distinct habitats Metagenomics is an emerging field that has changed the way microbiologists study microorganisms. It involves the genomic analysis of microorganisms by extraction and cloning of DNA from a group of microorganisms, or the direct use of the purified DNA or RNA for sequencing, which allows scientists to bypass the usual protocol of isolating and culturing individual microbial species. This method is now used in laboratories across the globe to study microorganism diversity and for isolating novel medical and industrial compounds. Handbook of Molecular Microbial Ecology is the fi...
The Göttingen conference Systematics 2008 is the first joint meeting of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik (GfBp. and the German Botanical Society, section Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (DBG), being the 10th Annual Meeting of the GfBS and the 18th International Symposium Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology of the DBG. The conference programme covers biological systematics in the widest sense and provides ample opportunities for oral and poster presentations on new advances in plant, animal and microbial systematics. This volume brings together the abstracts of invited speaches from the plenary sessions on Progress in Deep Phylogeny, Speciation and Phylogeography, and New Trends in Biological Systematics as well as those of submitted talks and poster sessions.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, BIOSTEC 2010, held in Valencia, Spain, in January 2010. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 410 submissions in two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers cover a wide range of topics and are organized in four general topical sections on healthinf, biodevices, biosignals, and bioinformatics.
How the increasing reliance on metrics to evaluate scholarly publications has produced new forms of academic fraud and misconduct. The traditional academic imperative to “publish or perish” is increasingly coupled with the newer necessity of “impact or perish”—the requirement that a publication have “impact,” as measured by a variety of metrics, including citations, views, and downloads. Gaming the Metrics examines how the increasing reliance on metrics to evaluate scholarly publications has produced radically new forms of academic fraud and misconduct. The contributors show that the metrics-based “audit culture” has changed the ecology of research, fostering the gaming and...
