THE 24TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GENOME INFORMATICS, GIW2013, IN SINGAPORE

摘要

The "International Conference on Genome Informatics", popularly known as "GIW", is probably one of the oldest, if not actually the oldest annual, regular conference in computational biology. This conference is surprisingly viable, it survived all turns of the tempestuous development of this field of research.~1 It is impossible to over-estimate the role of GIW in establishing and enhancing the computational biology and bioinformatics research community in the Asia-Pacific region and its interaction with the world-wide research effort. Importantly, it has provided a friendly forum where scientists especially from the region could exchange and publish their research findings. It has accompanied and furthered the growth of computational biology and bioinformatics research in both quantity and quality in the Asia-Pacific region.
