EURASIP Journal on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology - An Open Access Journal Special Issue on Genetic Regulatory Networks Call for Papers Genomic signal processing (GSP) has been defined as the analysis, processing, and use of genomic signals for gaining biological knowledge and the translation of that knowledge into systems-based applications. A major goal of GSP is to characterize genetic regulation and its effects on cellular behaviour and function, thereby leading to a functional understanding of diseases and the development of systems-based medical solutions. This involves the development of nonlinear dynamical network models for genomic regulation and of mathematically grounded diagnostic and therapeutic tools based on those models. This special issue is devoted to genetic regulatory networks. We desire high-quality papers on all network issues, including: o Mathematical models o Inference o Steady-state analysis o Optimal intervention o Approximation and reduction o Validation o Computational complexity o Applications Authors should follow the EURASIP JBSB manuscript format described at the journal's web site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/bsb/ Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JBSB's manuscript tracking system at http://www.mstracking.com/bsb/, according to the following timetable.
