Aims and scope
The focus of the special issue is on emerging topics at the interface of computational intelligence, Bioinformatics and Bioengineering.
This is a rich area that includes important and diverse problems, such as protein structure prediction, systems and synthetic biology, visualization of large-scale biological data sets, epigenomics, as well as touches on a vast range of topics in biomedical engineering, bioprocessing and healthcare informatics, such as biomedical imaging/data modelling and mining, biomarker discovery, development of personalized medicine and treatment, mining of big healthcare dataset, biopharmaceutical manufacture and computer-assisted closed-loop problems.
The computational intelligence community in bioinformatics and bioengineering is fragmented and large. The aim of the special issue we are proposing will be to capture some of the ongoing interdisciplinary research that draws upon joint expertise in the domains of optimization and learning via computational intelligence techniques and bioinformatics and bioengineering. The focus will be to provide both breadth in the diversity of selected problems and depth in state-of-the-art techniques for selected problems.
Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to)
· Evolution, phylogeny, comparative genomics
· Gene expression array analysis
· Metabolic pathway analysis
· MicroRNA analysis
