Dear Biocondutor developers,

The International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design will
organize a special issue on SNP and aCGH data analysis and their
applications. We invite the researchers developing analysis algorithms or
doing research using these technologies submit a manuscript. To get higher
chance of acceptance, authors are encouraged to submit an abstract by May 1,
2008. Please send us an email if you are interested or have any questions.
Thanks for your time and consideration!

Sincerely,

Pan Du

Call For Papers --- Special issue on SNP and aCGH data analysis and their
applications

 
PURPOSE
 
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and copy number variation (CNV)
variations contribute substantially to human diseases, carcinogenesis and
human genetic diversities. The whole-genome scanning technologies, like SNP
and aCGH microarray, make measuring these variations possible. As these
genome-wide scanning techniques become more widely used in research and
diagnostic laboratories, how to better analyze the data and interpret the
results becomes major challenges. The IJCBDD (International Journal of
Computational Biology and Drug Design) will hold a special issue (publish in
the fourth issue of 2008) on SNP and aCGH data analysis and/or their
applications. 
 
We invite manuscripts on:
# Data analysis:
     * New algorithms in SNP and/or aCGH data analysis
     * Review of the analysis algorithms
     * Identifying genes and pathways for the development and progression of
a particular disease
     * Databases to facilitate integration with existing genetic studies
 
# Applications:
     * Diseases or defects caused by chromosomal rearrangements
     * Population or familial genetics
     * Comparative genomics
     * Pharmacogenomics
 
Researchers working with data analysis, technical developments driving this
field or utilizing these technologies are encouraged to submit a manuscript.
In order to get higher chance of acceptance, authors are encouraged to
submit an abstract by May 1st.
