========================================================================
         The Third Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference 
               Singapore, 17-21 January 2005

=======================================================================
The Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference series is an annual 
forum for exploring research, development and novel applications 
of Bioinformatics. The Third Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Conference,
APBC2005, will be held in Singapore. 

Key Information

High-throughput sequencing and functional genomics technologies have 
given us a draft human genome sequence and have enabled large-scale 
genotyping and gene expression profiling of human populations. 
Databases containing large numbers of sequences, polymorphisms, 
and gene expression profiles of normal and diseased tissues in 
different clinical states are rapidly being generated for human 
and model organisms. Bioinformatics is thus rapidly growing 
in importance in the annotation of genomic sequences, in the 
understanding of the interplay between genes and proteins, 
in the analysis the genetic variability of species, etc. 
The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers, 
professionals, and industrial practitioners for interaction and 
exchange of knowledge and ideas. We invite submissions that 
address conceptual and practical issues of bioinformatics. 


Topics of Interest 
Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: 
-Novel Applications in Bioinformatics 
-Computational Analysis of Biological Data  
-Data Mining & Statistical Modeling of Biological Data  
-Modelling and Simulation of Biological Processes  
-Visualization of Biological Processes and Data  
-Management, Migration, and Integration of Biological Databases  
-Access, Indexing, and Search in Biological Databases

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES 
APBC2005 invites high-quality original papers on any topic related 
to Bioinformatics. Papers should be no more than 10 pages in 
length conforming to the formatting instructions for the series 
Advances in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (instructions 
available at the APBC2005 website). Each paper will be fully refereed 
by an international program committee. Papers will be judged on 
originality, significance, correctness, and clarity. 
Authors should submit one copy of a PDF or MS Word file to APBC2005 
Paper Submission Website. The full paper must be submitted by 16 July 2004. 
The proceedings will be published as a volume in the series Advances 
in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology by Imperial College Press. 
Expanded version of the best papers will be invited for publication 
in the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. 
To publish the paper in the conference, one of the authors needs to 
register for and present at the conference.
