International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB) is the annual conference of Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) that showcases the latest research and technologies in all areas of bioinformatics. Since 2002 (see where InCoB has been held previously), InCoB has been attended by practitioners from both biology fields and computing backgrounds in the Asia-Pacific region, and also from other regions.
As in the past, accepted papers will be published in international, peer-reviewed journals, such as Bioinformatics, BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Genomics, BMC Medical Genomics, BMC Systems Biology, and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB).
