Call for Papers

Themes of the ISB 2018 will be interdisciplinary by its nature and focus on bridging opportunities between mathematical methods and Systems Biology studies. We are particularly interested in submissions that report on theoretical, experimental and applied research motivated by systems biology problems. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:

  • Gene Regulatory Networks
  • Protein Interaction Networks
  • Metabolic Networks
  • Signaling Networks
  • Comparative Genomics
  • Functional Genomics
  • Metagenomics
  • Genome-Wide Association Study
  • Promoter Analysis and Discovery
  • Biomarker Identification and Drug Discovery
  • Evolution and Phylogenetics
  • Non-coding RNAs
  • Proteomics
  • Protein Structures and Functions
  • Microbial Community Analysis
  • Qualitative Analysis of Biological Systems
  • Quantitative Models of Cellular and Multi-Cellular Systems
  • Designing and Modeling Synthetic Biological Systems
  • Nonlinear Dynamics and Analysis of Biological Systems
  • Designing Synthetic Biological Circuits
  • High Performance Computing for Biological Data Analysis
  • Data Mining and Machine Learning for Biological Data
  • Information Theory and Statistical Analysis
  • Systems Biology of Cancer and Metastasis
  • Brain Systems Biology
  • Systems Neuro-Informatics
  • Systems Biology of Development
  • Next Generation Sequencing for Personal Genomics, Cancer Genomics and Metagenomics
  • Rare and common variants of human genome
  • Epigenomics, non-coding RNAs, and DNA methylation analyses
  • Genome-Phenome-Envirome Network Analysis
  • Microarray analysis and functional genomics for disease
  • Biomarkers, Drug Discovery and Pharmacogenomics
  • Biomedical Text/Data Mining and Visualization
  • Network Biology/Medicine and Pathway/Regulation Analysis
  • Biomedical Intelligence, Clinical Informatics, and Health Record
  • Semantic Biology/Medicine and Biomedical Ontologies.

All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the quality, originality, soundness, and significance of their contributions. Original research papers are solicited in all aspects of Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, Synthetic Biology and Computational Biology, including but not limited to the above topics.

The selected papers of ISB 2018 will be recommended and published in the special issues on the top journals such as IEEE Transaction on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB), BMC Systems Biology, Journal of Molecular Cell Biology (JMCB).
