Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\Systems Biology (BGRS\SB-2012)

Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Novosibirsk, Russia, Novosibirsk, Russia
25-29 June 2012

These regular conferences have been run since 1998. The young scientists' school “Bioinformatics and Systems Biology” will be arranged as part of the conference.

Here are the fields of bioinformatics and systems biology on which the conference will be focused:

• Computer-assisted genomics, transcriptomics, and chromosomics. Genome-wide sequencing and personal genomes. Spatial organization of genetic material in cells.
• Assembling algorithms. Annotation of genomes and metagenomes.
• GWAS, associative criteria, and analysis of polymorphisms.
• Bioinformatics of complex quantitative traits.
• Bioinformatics and structural biology. Molecular dynamics of biomolecules and supramolecular complexes.
• Bioinformatics and search for new pharmacological targets.
• Reconstruction and modeling of gene networks.
• Metabolism engineering and bioinformatics.
• Synthetic computer biology and experimental design of artificial molecular systems.
• Evolutionary bioinformatics.
• Bioinformatics of the nervous system and the brain.
• Bioinformatics of morphogenesis.
• Bioinformatics of stem cells and epigenomics.
• Supercomputer-assisted and distributed computation in bioinformatics.
• Data consolidation and automated data mining in publications and databases.
