Bioinformatics for Regulatory Genomics (BioRegSIG)
Special Interest Group (SIG) at ISMB 2011
July 16, 2011, Vienna
In conjunction with The Nineteenth International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB)
Regulatory genomics involves the study of the genomic 'control system,' which determines how, when and where to activate
the 'blueprint' encoded in the genome. Due to the importance of computational methods in the study of gene regulation,
BioRegSIG unites scientists to consider bioinformatics methods in the context of regulatory genomics.
The international organizing committee of BioRegSIG 2011 has constructed an exciting program, featuring two keynote
speakers and 15 research presentations.
