ISMB - Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology - is the primary annual meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology. In celebrating our 20th anniversary as the longest running annual bioinformatics/computational biology conference, we are pleased to present the largest and most important bioinformatics conference of 2012.
What makes ISMB so important? Bioinformatics is unequivocally an essential tool for understanding biology. The widespread recognition of bioinformatics has been largely driven by genomic sequence efforts because laboratory scientists recognize that the usefulness of biologic/genomic data is highly dependent on one’s ability to electronically access and manipulate it.
