[Extended Paper Submission Deadline: 19 Jan 2009]
2nd International Workshop on Optimal Data Mining in Gene Expression Analysis
(ODGEA’09)
in conjunction with
5th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA’09)
http://giscompute.gis.a-star.edu.sg/~karu/ODGEA09/CFP.html
May 13-16, 2009
Nova Southeastern University
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA
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 binding
site data, copy number 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/isbra09/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.
