Modern life science studies involve both biological and computational methods. Breakthrough results in these fields can only be achieved by tight communication and knowledge exchange between the two sides. The ultimate goal of the conference is to bring together bioinformaticians and biologists to share experience in development and practical application of bioinformatics algorithms.
The conference will be accompanied by a 2-day online workshop on metagenomic data analysis. Workshop includes practices in metagenomic data annotation using MGnify.
Topics include:
- Sequencing technologies
- Molecular sequence analysis
- Computational genomics
- Genome assembly
- Transcriptomics
- Metagenomics
- Agrigenomics
- Viromics
- CRISPR
- Natural Producs Discovery
Selected abstracts will be published as a part of the BiATA 2021 BMC Bioinformatics (IF=3.1) supplement. Additionally, once the conference is over a number of works presented at the conference might be selected and their extended versions might also be invited to be submitted to the supplement. The selection will be made by the program committee and submissions will be by invitation only.
