25^th Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB)

January 3-7, 2020, Fairmont Orchid, Big Island of Hawaii

Scope & Topics

The twenty-fifth Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB), will be held January 3-7, 2020 at the Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island of Hawaii. PSB will bring together top researchers from North America, the Asian Pacific nations, Europe and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. PSB will provide a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology. PSB intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists and biologists, presenting significant original research, demonstrating computer systems, and facilitating formal and informal discussions on topics of importance to computational biology.

To provide focus for the very broad area of biological computing, PSB is organized into a series of specific sessions. Each session will involve both formal research presentations and open discussion.

Topics of Interest :

• Artificial Intelligence for Enhancing Clinical Medicine
• Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) and Their Functions
• Mutational Signatures
• Pattern Recognition in Biomedical Data: Challenges in Putting Big Data to Work
• Precision medicine: addressing the challenges of sharing, analysis, and privacy at scale
  

Paper Submission

The core of the conference consists of rigorously peer-reviewed full-length papers reporting on original work. All accepted papers will be published electronically and indexed in PubMed, and the best of these will be presented orally to the entire conference.

PSB's publisher, World Scientific Publishing (WSP), will initiate submission to PubMed Central (PMC) for accepted papers that must comply with the NIH Public Access Policy. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript is deposited into the NIHMS upon acceptance for publication. The author must complete all remaining steps in the NIHMS in order for the submission to be accepted.

Per WSP, authors may post their submitted manuscript (preprint) at any time on their personal website, in their company or institutional repository, in not-for-profit subject-based preprint servers or repositories, and on scholarly collaboration networks (SCNs) which have signed up to the STM sharing principles. Please provide the following applicable acknowledgement along with a link to the article via its DOI if available.

• Preprint of an article published in Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing © [Year] World Scientific Publishing Co., Singapore, http://psb.stanford.edu/ (for accepted PSB papers only).

Authors are encouraged to submit preprints to bioRxiv, an online archive and distribution service operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for preprints in the life sciences.

Researchers wishing to present their research without official publication are encouraged to submit a one page abstract by the abstract deadline listed below to present their work in the poster sessions.
