Call for Participation: InCoB 2010

International Conference in Bioinformatics (InCoB) 2010,
Tokyo 26-28 September 2010

The Ninth International Conference on Bioinformatics, InCoB2010
(incob.apbionet.org or incob10.hgc.jp)  will be held at International
Conference Center, Waseda Campus, Waseda University, Tokyo
on 26-28 September 2010.

This year, InCoB is organized in collaboration with the International
Immunomics Society (IIMMS) and Chem-Bio Informatics Society (CBI).
Day 3 is held in conjunction with special CBI sessions and the 3rd
Conference of Basic and Clinical Immunogenomics and Immunomics
(BCII).

InCoB, the annual conference of the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network
(http://www.apbionet.org) brings together scientists working in
bioinformatics and computational biology, spanning a wide range of
underpinning disciplines including computer science, biology,
biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, immunomics,
mathematics and statistics.

Clyde Hutchison (J. Craig Venter Institute), Hiroaki Kitano (SONY CSL), and
Japan Academy Prize 2008 winner Yoshiyuki Nagai (RIKEN CNRID), have
accepted to present Keynotes at InCoB2010. Please see the website for the
latest list of other distinguished speakers.

We invite you to participate in the following sessions:
1. Full papers for oral presentation and publication in BMC Genomics or BMC
Bioinformatics, Immunome Research or ISPJ Transactions on Bioinformatics.

2. Abstracts for (A) Poster Sessions and (B) Technology, Tools, Methodology,
Resource, Database, Software Demonstrations or Posters.

3. Late-breaking abstracts for short oral presentations

4. Tutorial videos for virtual e-learning  sessions

5. APBioNet Annual General Meeting

Submissions to InCoB2010 may cover any aspect of bioinformatics,
computational biology, chem-bioinformatics, bioinformatics-related cloud
computing, biocomputing, personalized medicine, environmental genomics
(white bio), synthetic genomes and organisms, metagenomics,
pharmacogenomics, and immunomics conveying a scientific result.

1. FULL PAPERS:
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15 APRIL 2010
ACCEPTANCE: 31 MAY 2010

InCoB2009 will feature oral presentations shortlisted from full paper
submissions, for selection in:
- BMC Genomics (IF 3.93) (www.biomedcentral.com/bmcgenomics)
- BMC Bioinformatics (IF 3.78) (www.biomedcentral.com/bioinformatics)
- Immunome Research (est. IF 5.33)  (www.immunome-research.com)
 - ISPJ Transactions on Bioinformatics (www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/ipsjtbio)

ABBioNet was the first Asia-Pacific bioinformatics society to publish full
papers in BMC Bioinformatics and in 2009, also in BMC Genomics. Supplements
from previous conferences are below:

After rigorous  review by the Program Committee, authors will be asked to
revise their manuscripts, prior to acceptance for publication and oral
presentation at InCoB2010, for which at least one author must register.

2. ABSTRACTS
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 07 JUNE 2010
ACCEPTANCE: 30 JUNE 2010

We solicit high-quality research abstracts for
(A) Poster Sessions and
(B) Technology, Tool, Methodology, Resource, Database, Software
Demonstration oral presentations.

At least one author of each selected poster/demonstration must register for
InCoB2010. Furthermore, a single registration can cover only oral
presentation and one poster presentation or two poster presentations.
Posters are intended to convey a scientific result and are not meant to be
used as advertisements for commercial products.

3. LATE-BREAKING ABSTRACTS:
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 01 AUGUST 2010
ACCEPTANCE: 10 AUGUST 2010

We invite abstracts on peer-reviewed journal papers that have accepted for
publication or have been will be published on or after July 20, 2010 (please
provide us email acceptance or online version).  A small number of short
oral or poster presentations is available and will be allocated at the
discretion of scientific Program Committee. Decision criteria are the impact
of the work on the field, the likelihood that the study would be of interest to
the InCoB audience and the relevance of the research to bioinformatics
and application to molecular and medical sciences.

4. TUTORIAL VIDEOS
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 01 JULY 2010
ACCEPTANCE:  30 JULY 2010

InCoB2010 will feature shortly before and after the conference virtual
e-learning sessions on new and emerging, cutting-edge topics.  Authors for
accepted tutorials agree to be available for feedback and potential
questions fielded by e-mail in the period from Sep 20-Oct 19, 2010.
For details see Submissions/Guidelines at conference website.
Tutorial providers who wish to attend InCoB2010 are required to register.
