Microbiology research at the systems biology and bioinformatics - 2019 (SBB-2019) school

摘要

This Special Issue of BMC Microbiology “Systems Biology and Bioinformatics” presents the materials discussed at the 11-th Young Scientists School “Systems Biology and Bioinformatics”-2019 (SBB-2019) in Novosibirsk, Russia (http://conf.bionet.nsc.ru/sbb2019/en/). These Young Scientists’ Schools on bioinformatics have been organized every year since 2008 by the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Novosibirsk State University [1, 2]. To accompany this Special Issue on microbiology, parallel special journal issues in the fields of genomics, bioinformatics, and medical genomics were published as a part of SBB-2019 series in BioMed Central journals: BMC Genomics, BMC Medical Genomics, BMC Genetics, BMC Medical Genetics, and BMC Bioinformatics (https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcentral. com/articles/supplements/volume-21-supplement-11). The SBB Schools in Novosibirsk are satellite training meetings for young scientists and PhD students, which are organized either as satellite events for BGRSSB (Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure Systems Biology) conferences series [3, 4] or as independent events [2, 5]. The Schools were accompanied and complemented by the publication of special journal issues in BMC Microbiology [6] and other BioMed Central journals [3, 4]. This special issue contains the study by S.E. Peltek and co-authors [7] describing microbial life habitats in unique volcano caldera environment.
