Monday Afternoon, 12 January 2005 --- 4:40 pm - 6:50 pm
Bioinformatics Workshop - Town and Country Room
Organizer: Pierre Rouze, Ghent University
Based on feedback from PAG meeting attendees it was decided to change the structure and organization of the bioinformatics workshops at the conference, such that the three bioinformatics workshops previously held on three separate days in 2001-3, are now consolidated into one session to be held on one day, Monday, January 12th, 2005.
As an additional innovation, the afternoon session of the revised bioinformatics workshop will now be structure into one keynote speaker and five (5) competitive slots, the paper proceedings of which will now be peer reviewed and published in the Bioinformatics Journal (http://bioinformatics.oupjournals.org) following the model of other conferences such as the ISMB.
This new format intends to provide a fresh public venue for the presentation and publication of exciting bioinformatics-driven genome research at PAG. Here are the details:

Papers in print |
Abstracts: should be submitted to the session organizer, Pierre Rouze, via email (pierre.rouze@psb.ugent.be), should not exceed 250 words in length and should provide full details of paper authorship including affiliation. Abstracts should generally follow the Bioinformatics journal format of abstract subheadings (i.e. “Motivation”, “Results”, “Availability”, “Contact”, “Supplementary Information”) as required.
Papers: invited papers will be limited to 8 pages with about 750 words per page, following the normal formatting guidelines and word processing templates of the Bioinformatics Journal (see instructions to authors at http://www3.oup.co.uk/jnls/list/bioinformatics/instauth/auth1.html). Bioinformatics editors will have the final say on suitability of papers for publication.
