****CALL FOR PAPERS****

15th International Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics (BIOKDD'15)
August 10 2015
Sydney, Australia

The goal of the 15th International Workshop on Data Mining in
Bioinformatics (BIOKDD'15) is to encourage KDD researchers to take on the
numerous challenges that Bioinformatics offers. This year, the workshop
will feature the theme of “Knowledge Discovery on Complex Biological and
Medical Data”. This field focuses on the use of data mining and machine
learning approaches for the analysis of the large amount of heterogeneous
complex biological and medical data being generated. The goal here is to
build accurate predictive or descriptive models from these data enabling
novel discoveries in basic biology and medicine.

We encourage papers that propose novel data mining techniques for areas
including but not limited to:

* Building predictive models for complex phenotypes from large-scale
biological data
* Discovering biological networks and pathways underlying biological
processes and diseases
* Processing of new/next-generation sequencing (NGS) data for genome
structural variation analysis, discovery of biomarkers and mutations, and
disease risk assessment
* Discovery of genotype-phenotype associations
* Novel methods and frameworks for mining and integrating big biological
data
* Comparative genomics
* Metagenome analysis using sequencing data
* RNA-seq and microarray-based gene expression analysis
* Genome-wide analysis of non-coding RNAs
* Genome-wide regulatory motif discovery
* Structural bioinformatics
* Correlating NGS with proteomics data analysis
* Functional annotation of genes and proteins
* Cheminformatics
* Special biological data management techniques
* Information visualization techniques for biological data
* Semantic web and ontology-driven data integration methods
* Privacy and security issues in mining genomic databases
