ISCB/SPRINGER series in computational biology

Abstract

In late 2012, the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and Springer partnered together to enhance the Springer book series in computational biology. The two worked closely together to come up with a strategy to bring to ISCB members and the community at large educational materials that would not only educate the community but also help advance the science. Sponsored by ISCB, the computational biology series publish the latest high-quality research devoted to specific issues in computer-assisted analysis of biological data. The main emphasis is on current scientific developments and innovative techniques in computational biology (bioinformatics), bringing to light methods from mathematics, statistics and computer science that directly address biological problems currently under investigation. The series offer publications that present the state-of-the-art regarding the problems in question, show computational biology/bioinformatics methods at work and discuss anticipated demands regarding developments in future methodology. Titles can range from focused monographs, to undergraduate and graduate textbooks and professional text/reference works. Additionally, ISCB members will receive a 25% discount on book purchases within the series. Springer is seeking to publish quality books in the areas including, but not limited to, databases, data analysis and ontologies; functional and comparative genomics; gene regulation and transcriptomics; protein interactions and networks; data, literature and text mining; molecular sequence analysis; biological networks; sequencing and genotyping technologies; population genetics; systems biology; imaging and visualization; computational proteomics; molecular structural biology; evolution and phylogenetics; metagenomics; biomedical applications; high performance biocomputing; and synthetic biological systems.
