Submission Deadline: June 30, 2005

The Virtual Conference on Genomics and Bioinformatics provides an
advanced collaborative environment where high profile researchers
discuss the challenges and opportunities in the understanding of living
systems. There are NO REGISTRATION FEES to participate in this event.

The main objective of the Proceedings of the Virtual Conference
is to establish a prestigious compilation of research advances,
discussions and reviews on emerging issues related with genomics and
bioinformatics. To attain maximum interaction among the authors and
their readers, each submitted paper will subject to a stringent double
blind review process, and accepted manuscripts will be invited for oral
presentations and published both in paper and electronic forms.

Topics covered by the 2005 Issue will include:

Artificial and Synthetic Life
Biological Knowledge Representation
Biological Data Mining
Data Visualization
Educational Experiences and Policies Related to Genomics and
Bioinformatics
Evolutionary Genomics
Genomic Data Standardization, Management, and Integration
High Throughput and GRID Computing
Machine Learning Techniques for Genomic Analysis
Nano-biotechnology
Proteomic Analysis
Protein Structural Analysis and Modeling
Systems Biology
Structural Genomics

A maximum length of four pages will be considered for publication as
poster and twelve pages as a paper. All accepted manuscripts will be
considered for publication in PLoS Computational Biology.
