The International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications May 6-9, 2007
Atlanta, Georgia
Research and development The International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA) provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and results among researchers, developers, and practitioners working on all aspects of bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications ISBRA is the successor of the International Workshop on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (IWBRA), held on May 22-25, 2005 in Atlanta, GA and on May 28-31, 2006 in Reading, UK in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science. The first two editions have enjoyed a great success, with special issues of Springer LNCS Transactions on Computational Systems Biology and with special issues of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and IEEE Transactions On Nano Biosciences being devoted to full versions of selected papers.
ISBRA 2007 proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series, and it is anticipated that a special issue of a major international journal in bioinformatics will be devoted to full versions of select symposium papers.
