[DMANET] Call for papers: MatBio 2018 Special Issue

MatBio 2018 Special Issue – Call for papers

We warmly invite contributions to a special issue of the Journal of Discrete Algorithms for MatBio 2018.

This special issue of the Journal of Discrete Algorithms (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-discrete-algorithms) will be devoted to the topics included in the Mathematical Foundations in Bioinformatics Conference held 02 August 2018 at King's College London. Submissions presenting original research within these areas are invited. This issue will also contain full versions of selected presentations from MatBio 2018: https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/informatics/events/MatBio2018/index.html

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Sequence Analysis
Genomic Variation and Disease
Haplotypes and Population Genomics
Protein and RNA Analysis, Structure, and Dynamics
Metagenomics
Cancer Genomics
Systems Biology
Phylogenetics
Biological Networks and Integrative Analysis
Computational Drug Discovery
Biological Modelling
Text Mining and Classification
Advancing Algorithms and Methods
Big Data in Bioinformatics

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

** Papers which are pure theory, or theory supported by experimentation, or applied research are all encouraged.

** Papers must contain previously unpublished material; however, full versions of conference manuscripts may be submitted subject to citing the conference paper.

** Survey papers which are relevant to the topics of the special issue are welcome and will be considered at the discretion of the editors.

** Submissions by non-participants will be considered subject to relevance.

** Submissions should be typically 10-20 pages (shorter or longer papers will be considered at the discretion of the editors).

** All submitted papers will be reviewed according to the usual Journal of Discrete Algorithms reviewing standards, with a minimum of two reviews but usually three.

** Instructions to submit the manuscript can be found at: http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~pophlin/matbio2018/index.html

The preliminary schedule is:

Deadline for submission: 30th September 2018
Notification to authors: 30th October 2018

We look forward to receiving your submissions!
