[CPM-SPIRE-L] 26th WABI 2026 Conference on Algorithms in Bioinformatics - Call for papers

[Nadia El-Mabrouk]

26th WABI Conference on Algorithms in Bioinformatics



University of L’Aquila, Italy, August 31 - September 2, 2026



https://algo-conference.org/2026/wabi/

#### SCOPE



WABI is an international conference covering research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that provide evidence of their potential usefulness in practice, preferably by testing on appropriately chosen simulated or real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research.

#### IMPORTANT DATES

### PAPER SUBMISSION



Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the LIPIcs style and must not exceed 15 pages excluding the front page (authors, affiliation, keywords, abstract, …), references and a brief appendix (of up to 5 pages). For details please see the information for authors https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/LIPIcs#author.



Each paper must contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, all accessible to non-specialist readers. All submissions must be made online, through the EasyChair submission system, at:



https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wabi202 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wabi2025 6



For scientific information, please contact one of the WABI program committee co-chairs, Nadia El-Mabrouk (mabrouk at iro.umontreal.ca mailto:mabrouk at iro.umontreal.ca ) or Fabio Vandin (fabio.vandin at unipd.it mailto:fabio.vandin at unipd.it ). For additional organizational information, please refer to the ALGO 2026 website https://algo-conference.org/2026/ , or contact the local organizers at algo2026 at univaq.onmicrosoft.com mailto:algo2026 at univaq.onmicrosoft.com .



An abstract of the paper must be received in EasyChair by May 11, 2026 (AoE) in order for your submission to be considered. Submission of full versions for already submitted papers will be possible until May 14, 2026 (AoE). Simultaneous submission to another conference with published proceedings is not permitted, but simultaneous submission to a journal is allowed, provided that the authors notify the program chairs; if published in a journal, such a contribution will be published as a short abstract in the WABI proceedings. Depositing in arxiv.org http://arxiv.org/  or biorxiv.org http://biorxiv.org/  is encouraged.



By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that, in case of acceptance at least one of the authors must register for WABI 2026 and present the paper.



Accepted papers will be published in the WABI proceedings in the LIPIcs Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics https://www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/ .



Selected papers will be invited for an extended publication in a thematic series in Algorithms for Molecular Biology (AMB) http://almob.biomedcentral.com/ .
