Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Biomedical databases and data integration
  • Biomolecular imaging
  • Bio-ontologies
  • Comparative genomics
  • Computational genetic epidemiology
  • Computational proteomics
  • Data mining and visualization
  • Gene expression analysis
  • Genome analysis
  • High-performance bio-computing
  • High-throughput sequencing data analysis
  • Molecular evolution
  • Molecular modeling and simulation
  • Pattern discovery and classification
  • Population genetics
  • Software tools and applications
  • Structural biology
  • Systems biology

Accepted papers will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series. Extended versions of selected ISBRA papers will be invited to special issues of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and the Journal of Computer Science and Technology.
