Call for Abstracts: Function Special Interest Group at ISMB 2018

We call upon all researchers involved in the computational study of
macromolecular function to submit an abstract to the Function-SIG meeting.
Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to give a talk and/or present
a poster.
Travel fellowships will be available for qualifying graduate students and
postdoctoral trainees.

Time and place: Chicago, IL, USA  July 6, 2018
ISMB 2018 home page: https://www.iscb.org/ismb2018


Key Dates:

*Thursday April 5, 2018* Abstract Submission Deadline
*April 26, 2018*: Notification of Acceptance
*July 7, 2018*: Function SIG at ISMB/ECCB 2018

Sequence and structure genomics have generated a wealth of data, but
extracting meaningful information from genomic data is challenging. Both
the number and the diversity of discovered sequences are increasing. In
addition, there is a need for standardized annotation that could be
incorporated into functional annotation on a large scale. Finally, there is
a need to assess the quality of the function prediction algorithms and
software.

For these reasons and many more, automated protein function prediction is
of interest to computational biologists in academia and industry. The
Function-SIG meetings offer researchers and students in the field to meet
with like-minded colleagues, learn about the latest developments in the
field, and forge new collaborations. More on the Function SIG: http://biofu
nctionprediction.org/

We will also present the more results from the third round of the Critical
Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA3) and from the additional
CAFA3.14 (CAF-Pi). CAFA is an international computational challenge funded
by the NSF and BBSRC which aims to asses the accuracy of protein
function prediction
methods which is drawing dozens of participating groups worldwide. More on
CAFA: http://biofunctionprediction.org/cafa/
