Calendar of Events

The Calendar in Bioinformatics lists upcoming events in related areas, e.g. conferences, seminars, workshops, courses, etc. It is compiled by Bioinformatics and updated regularly. The Calendar is dynamic, so that only current and future events are displayed, and past events are automatically deleted. Publication of events on Bioinformatics does not imply endorsement by Oxford University Press or Bioinformatics.

The "Search Calendar" feature allows you to search for events by topic, location, sponsoring organization, and date.

Description: Description: Welcome to the seventh annual Rocky Mountain Bioinformatics Conference, a meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). The organizers hope that you enjoy the program, and find the conference a productive opportunity to meet researchers, students and industrial users of bioinformatics technology. We think we have the best program yet, offering a remarkable cross-section of bioinformatics research. The Rocky series began seven years ago as a regional conference, and has grown into an international program with a spotlight on regional development in the computational biosciences. The presenters of the Rocky conference are scientists representing a broad spectrum of universities, industrial enterprises, government laboratories, and medical libraries from around the world. The meeting is a chance to get to know your colleagues near and far, seek collaborative opportunities, and find synergies that can drive our field forward. For 2009 we will continue with the changes made in 2008 with extending the meeting to three full days, keeping the short talks to 10 minutes, and keeping with a larger poster session, allowing everyone who wants to present to do so. And we’ve retained the lunchtime ski breaks so that those of you who want to ski, including beginners, will have a chance to do so among friends and colleagues.

Subjects/Keywords: Functional Clustering of Gene Expression Profiles in Human Cancers Challenge
Description: CALL FOR PAPERS: Gene expression profiling using microarray has become a routine research tool in biomedicine. This high-throughput technology allows the researcher to monitor whole-genome gene expression profiles under different experiment conditions or disease phenotypes (including subtypes), as well as time course experiments. This type of screening helps identify genes with similar expression pattern under various conditions or time course. Co-expression of genes often indicates their co-regulation or participation in related functional biological pathways or processes. One of the strategies in identifying these groups of genes with similar expression patterns is by using unsupervised machine learning techniques such as clustering approaches. Many clustering algorithms have been developed an applied to the analysis of microarray data ranging from simple hierarchical clustering to bi-clustering approaches. These analyses usually provide a good starting point for further examination of specific pathways and relevant biological processes. However, the complexity of this problem requires fine-tuning and human intervention for determination of useful gene clusters associated with specific biological functions. Challenge Format: For this ICMLA 2009 Challenge, we invite participants to develop and submit unsupervised machine learning algorithms with the aim to minimize the fine-tuning and human intervention steps in identifying groups of genes with biological functions from a set of training data. The true labels and other relevant information will be provided for the training samples. The clustering algorithms developed using these identified groups of genes will be used to cluster an independent test set (true labels and other relevant information will not be provided for testing samples). Gene expression data, both training and test sets, will be provided in two formats: the raw CEL files and the intensity files. These samples were profiled on the Affymetrix Human Genome GeneChip HG_U133 Plus 2.0, which contains ~54,000 probes covering ~20,000 annotated genes. Participants can use either the CEL files (performed their own normalization) or the intensity files as the gene expression matrix for identifying the gene clusters. All the samples used in this Challenge were profiled by the International Genomics Consortium (IGC) for the Expression Project for Oncology (expO) and were deposited in the NCI GEO Omnibus under the series of GSE2109. We acknowledge their efforts in making these valuable data publically available to the community. Training set: 400 samples (70 lung cancers, 130 colon cancers, and 200 breast cancers). Testing set: 250 samples (50 lung cancers, 100 colon cancers, and 100 breast cancers). Submission and Evaluation: Short technical papers submitted will be reviewed based on: (i) the clarity and novelty of the algorithm and steps in identifying the gene clusters; (ii) the association of relevant biological function in the groups of genes; (iii) the ability to correctly cluster the independent test samples; and (iv) the discovery of new biological insights in these cancers. Publications: A selection of the submitted papers in this Challenge will be invited for publication of longer version of their papers to be published in a bioinformatics journal (to be determined). The full paper submissions will be subject to regular peer review. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: September 7, 2009 Camera-ready papers & Pre-registration: October 1, 2009 The ICMLA Conference: December 13-15, 2009 The authors would submit papers through the main conference submission website.

Description: The 10th International Conference on "Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE-2010)" will take place in Philadelphia, USA, between May 31 and June 03, 2010. As in previous years, the event will be sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the leading professional association for the advancement of technology with over 375,000 members in more than 160 countries. This conference series is a prime venue for scientists from diverse fields and disciplines to participate in the presentation, discussion and evaluation of the latest advances, research challenges, and opportunities that Bioinformatics and Bioengineering bring to modern science. As the boundaries separating various disciplines continue to melt away when scientists participate in the inter-disciplinary activities that serve society at large, the current approaches in Bioinformatics and Bioengineering reach deep into problems in biology, medicine, energy, and the environment. Acknowledging this, the conference will take place at a Medical School, a first for this conference series. The program will cover a wide spectrum of timely topics central to Bioinformatics and Bioengineering and to the scientific questions addressed by these fields. A cadre of outstanding Area Chairs will lead the review and selection process of oral and poster presentations in an exciting set of subjects. Keynote presentations by leading researchers, and tutorial lectures by recognized authorities will complement the rich program. We anticipate a very exciting and highly informative meeting, and look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia! Isidore Rigoutsos (IBM Research) Chris Floudas (Princeton U.) Junhyong Kim (U.
