*Scope of the conference:*

* *

The primary focus of BIRD '07 is to provide researchers and users in the 
field of bioinformatics a forum in which to interact about new research 
directions, developments, and software/web services.

It encompasses the methods of solving biological, medical, or chemical 
problems by computer science, machine learning, or information 
processing tools.

The conceptual level of the methods range from theoretical approaches 
through the design of algorithms, models, and information processing 
systems through to the development of software packages and web services.

The program committee seeks contributions, which topics include, but are 
not limited to:

* *

    * Algebraic Biology
    * Databases & Data Integration
    * Drug Design
    * Ontologies & Textmining
    * Evolution and Phylogenetics
    * Genomics
    * Gene and Splice Site Recognition
    * Machine Learning and Data Analysis
    * Gene Expression/Regulation & Microarrays
    * MicroRNA and RNAi
    * Molecular Diagnostics and Treatment Support
    * Molecular Dynamics
    * Pathways, Networks, Systems Biology
    * Phylogenetics & Molecular Evolution
    * Protein & RNA Structure and Function
    * Proteomics
