IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE)
Special Issue on Mining Biological Data
Due to popular requests, the submission deadline has been
extended to July 22nd
Mining biological data is an emerging area of intersection between data mining
and bioinformatics. Bioinformaticians have been working on the research and
development of computational methodologies and tools for expanding the use of
biological, medical, behavioral, or healthy data. Data mining researchers can
contribute significantly to the bioinformatics community by developing models
and algorithms to meet challenges posed by the bioinformatics research. Some
successful examples are, clustering of gene _expression_ profiles, frequent
pattern discovery on genome or proteins, selection of bio-
markers, etc.
This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering
will provide a forum for researchers to formally contribute to cementing
biological data mining as an emerging field. Specially, we aim to solicit high-quality
contributions that focus on novel data mining techniques that can be applied to
bioinformatics or computation biology area. Topics of interest include (but not
limited to):
# Gene _expression_ Analysis
# Sequential and Structural Motif Discovery
# Metabolic Pathway, Regulatory Network, and System Biology Analysis
# Comparative Genomics
# Phylogenetics
# Drug Design
# Proteomics
# Literature Extraction, Text Mining, and Ontologies
