Topics of interest include but are not limited to

Biomarker discovery High-performance bio-computing
Biomedical databases and data integration Metagenomics
Biomedical text mining and ortologies Molecular evolution
Biomolecular imaging Molecular modelling and simulation
Comparative genomics Next-generation sequencing data analysis
Computational genetic epidemiology Pattern discovery and classification
Computational proteomics Population genetics
Data mining and visualization Software tools and applications
Gene expression analysis Structural biology
Genome analysis Systems biology


All papers accepted in ISBRA2018 will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science Volume (EI index).

Extended versions of most papers from the conference will be published in the special issues of
