2007 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (Bibm 2007)

The result of an interdisciplinary approach to specific problems, these relatively new fields combine academic and industrial approaches to computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics to apply databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, simulation, ontology and other computational methods to life sciences. These proceedings of the November 2007 conference cover a range of these specific topics and include 59 papers and abstracts of the three keynote speeches. Topics of the papers include biological data mining, high performance bio-computing, genomics and comparative genomics, biological databases, data integration, visualization, molecular sequence analysis, healthcare informatics, proteomics and computational proteomics, protein structure research, computational systems biology, microarray design and data analysis, bio-ontology research, gene networks, pathways, networks, systems biology, signal and image processing in biomedicine, biomedical databases and information systems, biomedical information, and intelligent biomedical knowledge discovery. The editors provide an author index and each paper includes references. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
