BIOINFORMATICS INDIA JOURNAL
1st Indian Indexed Journal on Bioinformatics
Comprising of peer reviewed articles
---------------------------------------------------


Issue April-June July-Sept Oct - Dec Jan - March
Deadline 25th May 25th Aug 25th Nov 25th Feb



Computational biology and bioinformatics, has emerged from the Human
Genome Project as one of the new frontiers of biomedical research.
Although some computational, mathematical, and statistical techniques
have been used for more than a century, it is the recent explosion of
data that has brought this to an information science that requires new
algorithms and models to understand complex biological systems. "
Bioinformatics India " journal after its successfull one year
publication request authors to submit their research papers, articles,
book reviews for the publication. The Journal is acting as a platform
for the interaction between students/professionals ,scientists etc.
for exchange of information & provides comprehensive recent
literature, news and research in this new upcomming domain.


Suggested Themes :
Gene finding and prediction. Modern techniques use pattern analysis,
some with a neural network and some with a Markov model. There is
potential for OR techniques to improve the success rate of finding or
predicting where genes are in a genome.


Gene _expression array analysis: There are reliability issues with the
data and the types of normalization used. Various techniques are used
to derive knowledge from the data; a first step is often clustering,
which uses mathematical programming or algorithmic graph theory
heuristics. Other techniques within this issue's scope are kernel
methods to deal with the huge dimensionality of the hypotheses search
space.


Sequence comparisons: Homology is the underlying biological assumption
that contends similarity among DNA, RNA, or proteins. Dynamic
programming is a way to compare two sequences in polynomial time, but
that becomes exponential for k sequences. Heuristics and approximation
algorithms have been developed, some within a Hidden Markov Model.


Structure prediction: The protein folding problem, which has been
studied for decades, remains of great interest. Some have used global
optimization techniques for this, sometimes in combination with
heuristics. There have been some approximation algorithms for the
lattice model, but we welcome new methods and models. The same applies
to RNA or secondary structure prediction. The general area of
structure prediction includes docking sites, such as for ligands.


Molecular dynamics : Optimization has recently been applied to
problems in distance geometry, which helps to understand conformation
dynamics.


Networks. Systems biology is focusing on the creation of networks that
describe how genes regulate other genes. Protein interaction networks
are also being studied, some directed (e.g., one protein
phosphorylates another) and some undirected (some lab experiment
determined that two proteins bond under certain conditions). Metabolic
networks have been studied for decades, and linear programming has
been used to study fluxes in equilibrium for more than a decade. In
general, a biological network can involve different kinds of objects,
and the relation between objects can be unordered or ordered.


The Bioinformatics India Journal is a publication of Bioinformatics
Institute of India. The BII publishes articles and research papers in
the field of Bioinformatics and related sciences.
