Call for Papers

 

1st International Workshop on Optimal Data Mining in Gene Expression Analysis (ODGEA’08)

in conjunction with

International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA’08)

http://giscompute.gis.a-star.edu.sg/~karu/ODGEA08/CFP.html

May 6-9, 2008

Atlanta, GA, USA

 

(SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED: 14 Jan 2008)

 

The rapid development of several high-throughput gene expression monitoring technologies in the past decade has facilitated the generation of a huge amount of gene expression data. The data could either be rich or poor in the number of samples in a wide variety of experimental design setups. Aforementioned factors led to a need to develop suitable statistical procedures for optimal analysis, visualization and interpretation of the data. We are soliciting original research papers (including significant works in progress) involving gene expression analysis, including the following:

 

A. Novel supervised and unsupervised analysis and visualization methodologies

 

B. Novel experimental designs, problems and suitable procedures to solve them

 

C. Optimal feature selection for tumor classification and patient-outcome prediction

 

D. Integrative analysis of gene expression data obtained from different platforms and laboratories

 

E. Interpretation of gene expression data with other datasets such as ChIP-chip data and proteomics data.

 

F. Significance assessment of predictions

 

 

SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION

The workshop proceedings will be published along with the ISBRA proceedings in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series. Papers must be submitted electronically by following the instructions at:

http://www.cs.gsu.edu/isbra08/papers.html

Submissions must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style and must not exceed 12 pages in length. Simultaneous submission to journals or other conferences with published proceedings is not allowed. Further, it is anticipated that a special issue of a major bioinformatics journal will be devoted to extended versions of best conference and workshop papers.
