APBC 2009
The Seventh Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference
Beijing, China, 13-16 January 2009

The Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference (APBC) series, founded in
2003, is an annual international forum for exploring research, development
and applications of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The Seventh
Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference, APBC2009, will be held in Beijing,
China in January 13-16, 2009, following the 2008 Olympic Games.
The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, professionals, and industrial
practitioners from all over the world for interaction and exchange of knowledge and ideas in
all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology.
APBC2009 invites high-quality original papers and posters on any topic related to
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Accepted papers will be invited for publication
in the journal of BMC Bioinformatics, and abstracts of accepted posters will be published in
the conference proceedings. Papers and posters are solicited on, but not limited to, the
following topics:
• Sequence Analysis
• Motif Finding
• Recognition of Genes and Functional Elements
• RNA Analysis
• Physical and Genetic Mapping
• Molecular Evolution and Phylogeny
• Protein Structure Analysis
• Microarray Design and Data Analysis
• Deep Sequencing Data Processing
• Transcriptome, Gene Expression
• Epigenomics
• Proteomics and Post-Translational Modifications
• Pathways, Networks and Systems
• Ontologies
• Databases and Data Integration
• Biomedical Literature Mining and Understanding
• Population Genetics, SNP and Haplotyping
• Comparative Genomics
The conference will be held at Tsinghua University, Beijing three months after the
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and 10 days before the traditional Chinese New Year. Postconference
tours will be arranged to major scenery and historical cities in Northern and
Southern China.
