Selected Papers from the Third CFF Bioinformatics Conference (CBC2018)

Dear Colleagues,

Bioinformatics have become an intensive research topic in the past decade and have attracted a great many leading scientists, working in biology, physics, mathematics and computer science. Especially, in computer science in China, there are many academics engaged in bioinformatics, where they are aimed at providing computing skills and applications for biological data mining and management, algorithm design and analysis, software development, etc. In this field, optimal, statistical, and many other computational methods and tools have been developed and are widely used. The goal of the CCF Bioinformatics Conference (CBC) is to provide a domestic forum for scientists, researchers, educators, and practitioners to exchange ideas and approaches, to present research findings and state-of-the-art solutions in this interdisciplinary field, and to also build a constructive dialogue between two research areas: Computer science and biology. The Third CCF Bioinformatics Conference (CBC 2018) will take place October 12–14, 2018, in Xi’an, Shaanxi, P.R. China. The conference is administered by the Bioinformatics Committee of CCF. The CBC 2018 is organized by Xidian University, and co-organized by Xi'an Jiaotong University. The website of CBC 2018 is  http://bioinformatics.xidian.edu.cn/cbc2018en/.

The conference will highlight challenges emerging from this encounter and solicit papers that propose state-of-the-art computational solutions to practical and theoretical issues that arise from the biological and medical fields.

Sincerely,

Prof. Fa Zhang
Guest Editor

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
