[CPM-SPIRE-L] Special Issue "Algorithms in Computational Biology"

[Helene Touzet]

Dear Colleagues,

The journal "Algorithms" has a Special Issue on “Algorithms in
Computational Biology”.  The aim of this Special Issue is to present
state-of-the-art algorithmic innovations that allow facing the
computational bottlenecks of -omics data analysis. This includes a
variety of methods, such as discrete algorithms on sequences, trees
and graphs, data structures and compressed data structures, parallel
computing, combinatorial and sampling approaches, heuristics and
parameterized algorithms, data mining, and machine learning
techniques.

We invite you to submit high-quality papers, with subjects covering
the whole range from theory to applications. Surveys are also
welcome. The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of topics of
interests:

- Genomics and pangenomics
- Transcriptomics
- Metagenomics
- Epigenomics
- Proteomics and proteogenomics
- Sequence comparison
- Sequence assembly
- Structural variants
- RNA and protein structures
- Structural and functional annotation
- Evolution and comparative genomics
- Biological networks

The deadline for manuscript submissions is 31 March 2021.  A limited
number of papers can be granted a 20% discount.  Please contact us as
soon as possible if you want to apply to this grant.
