Track on Foundations of Algorithmic Computational Biology at SOFSEM 2020
20-24 JANUARY 2020, Limassol, Cyprus
https://cyprusconferences.org/sofsem2020

The track is devoted to complexity and algorithmic novelties to solve
problems in computational biology.
It aims at displaying research using graph algorithms, string
algorithms and combinatorial optimization
to deal with problems arising from biology.
Papers may be purely theoretical contributions with limited biological
application
or a mixture of theoretical and experimental contributions, with a
relevant algorithmic part.

The track focuses on discrete algorithms (approximation algorithms,
exact algorithms, fixed-parameter algorithms)
and complexity results for the following topics (but not limited to):

• Alignment and assembly of sequences
• Biological networks
• Cancer genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Gene expression
• Phylogenetics
• Sequence analysis
• System biology
