Data Mining is the process of automatic discovery of novel and understandable models and patterns from large amounts of data. Bioinformatics is the science of storing, analyzing, and utilizing information from biological data such as sequences, molecules, gene expressions, and pathways. Development of novel data mining methods will play a fundamental role in understanding these rapidly expanding sources of biological data.
The goal of this workshop is to encourage KDD researchers to take on the numerous challenges that Bioinformatics offers. The workshop will feature invited talks from noted experts in the field, and the latest data mining research in bioinformatics. We encourage papers that propose novel data mining techniques for tasks like:
  1. Gene expression analysis
  2. Protein/RNA structure prediction
  3. Phylogenetics
  4. Sequence and structural motifs
  5. Genomics and Proteomics
  6. Gene finding
  7. Drug design
  8. RNAi and microRNA Analysis
  9. Text mining in bioinformatics
  10. Modeling of biochemical pathways
Selected papers will be considered for publication in BMC Algorithms in Molecular Biology.
Submission Instructions
Papers should be at most 10 pages long (excluding references, but including the abstract, figures and tables), single-spaced, single-column, in font size 10 or larger with one-inch margins on all sides. Only paper in PDF will be accepted.
Papers should be submitted online at
