IMSCCS Symposium of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (SCBB06) June 21-22, 2006, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China
Description:
This BMC Bioinformatics supplement issue consists of 27 peer-reviewed papers selected from IMSCCS Symposium of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (SCBB) held in Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China on June 21-22, 2006. This symposium is designed to bring together computational biology and bioinformatics researchers to develop fundamental methods, algorithms, and research software for analyzing biological data and files.
We received submissions both from the presenters at the symposium as well as non-presenters. Submitted manuscripts were rigorously reviewed by at least two referees. The quality of each paper was evaluated on the contributions to computational biology, and bioinformatics. We required technical novelty and expression rigor in methodology.
We would like to thank the symposium presenters and participants who made this special issue possible. Special thanks go to the editors of BMC Bioinformatics who advised us in preparing the manuscripts. Finally we acknowledge IMSCCS organizers and program committee for their support and coordinating.
