Aims and Scope 
============== 
With the advancement in next-generation molecular technology in generating the high-throughput "omics" data, life science has come to the era of "big data". To extract biological knowledge from the data, and translate it into benefits for society (e.g. better medicine and healthcare), novel and advanced computational tools are needed for data analysis. CSBio 2016 would like to invite researchers and industrial counterparts to meet at this event to exchange ideas and stimulate research collaborations. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 
* Adaptive computation in bioinformatics 
* Biological network reconstruction and analysis 
* Modeling and simulation of biological processes, pathways, etc. 
* Next-generation sequencing 
* Gene expression analysis 
* Proteomics & other omics 
* Functional genomics 
* Epigenetics 
* DNA, RNA and protein sequence analysis 
* Bio-inspired computing 
* Parallel and distributed computing for life science 
* Molecular evolution and phylogeny 
* Protein folding 
* Medical and biomedical informatics 
* Translational bioinformatics 
* Biomarker discovery 
* Bio-data visualization 
* Disease classification 
* Drug discovery and validation 

Paper Submission 
================ 
The CSBio 2016 online submission system is opened at EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=csbio2016). 
All submissions will be checked for originality 

Publication choices 
=================== 
Authors have the following submission choices: 
1. Abstracts
2. Conference proceedings 

Option 1. ABSTRACTS
-------------------

All submitted abstracts will be peer-reviewed by our committees, and accepted ones will be published in the CSBio 2016 abstracts provided on CD-ROM at the conference. Authors choosing this option have to submit the abstract online as a PDF file. 
Download the template of abstract here: http://www.csbio.org/2016/files/Template_Abstract.docx

Note: This template is modified in MS Word 2013 and saved as a "Word Document (.docx)" for the PC. It provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. 


Option 2. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------------

All submitted full papers will be peer-reviewed by our committees, and accepted ones will be published in the CSBio 2016 proceedings. Authors choosing this option have to submit the full paper, not exceed 5 pages including the references.
