Call for Papers

[txt] [pdf]

    Functional genomics is a sub-field of molecular biology that makes use of the enormous amounts of data produced by genomic projects to describe some dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, and protein-protein interactions. Because these phenomena are typically characterized by large and increasing amounts of data, diverse and unusual data types, and complex relationships, interpreting such data requires novel approaches that include multiple tools, new algorithms, resources, etc. in an integrated fashion. Data Mining is the process of automatic discovery of novel, understandable and potentially useful models from such massive amounts of data. Organized in conjunction with BIBM 2009, the objective of this workshop is to facilitate collaboration between data mining researchers and bioinformaticians by presenting cutting-edge research topics and methodologies in the areas of functional genomics and data mining. While such research has an interdisciplinary character, this workshop emphasizes on the application of various data mining techniques such as data pre-processing, data visualization, model evaluation, classification and cluster analysis to research problems that arise in functional genomics. We encourage papers that employ data mining techniques for tasks related to functional genomics. Research papers are solicited in, but not limited to the following topics:

• Microarray Expression Analysis
• Protein Structure Prediction
• Protein-Protein Interactions
• Sub-cellular Localization
• Proteomics
• Mass spectrometry
• Integration of Heterogeneous data
• Gene Ontology

Paper Submission

Papers should be at most 8 pages long, including all figures, tables, and references. Papers should be submitted electronically by email to the workshop chairs in .pdf format. All papers accepted for this workshop will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which are indexed by EI. Paper submission form is available at Data Mining in Functional Genomics Submission Form
