Special Issue: 9th International Computational Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS 2019)

摘要

This special issue of the Journal of Computational Biology includes a selection of articles presented at the 9th International Computational Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS 2019), which was held at Florida International University in Miami, Florida, during November 15–17, 2019. ICCABS has the goal of bringing together researchers, scientists, and students from academia, laboratories, and industry to discuss recent advances on computational techniques and applications in the areas of biology, medicine, and drug discovery. In 2019, 30 extended abstracts were submitted in response to the ICCABS call for articles, out of which 14 extended abstracts appeared in the ICCABS 2019 postproceedings published as volume 12,029 of Springer Verlag’s Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics series. Authors of seven articles were invited to submit extended versions of their abstracts to this special issue. In addition, authors of one talk presented at the 9th Workshop on Computational Advances for Next Generation Sequencing (CANGS 2019), jointly held with ICCABS 2019, were also invited to submit a full article to this special issue.
