Due to several requests we have decided to extend the MLSB 2016 submission deadline until June 10, 2016, and the notification deadline until July 8, 2016. The workshop webpage (http://www.eccb2016.org/programme/workshops/w1/) has been updated to reflect the changes. As a reminder we have two tracks: Manuscript track with papers published in BMC Bioinformatics and Highlights tracks for abstracts describing computational aspects of work that has been recently published in a journal (or is “in press”) as well as unpublished/on-going work. Best regards, MLSB 2016 organizers Juho Rousu Dick de Ridder Harri Lähdesmäki Aalt-Jan van Dijk
