TOPICS
Computational biology, bioinformatics and systems biology approaches
in the study of RNA, gene-finding, structure, function, evolution.
Topics include, but are not limited to the following.
- gene finders (for noncoding RNA and for protein-coding genes)
- secondary and tertiary structure prediction
- sequence/structure alignment algorithms
- function prediction
- combinatorial problems related to RNA
- molecular evolution of RNA
SUBMISSION
The call for papers is now CLOSED.
For technical reasons this web page is still visible; however please do
not submit a paper at this point. (P. Clote, Feb 23, 2007)

web server
HERE.
DEADLINE: Papers should be submitted by 1 October 2006.
Description
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) has emerged as one of the
current leading topics in biology -- both wet-bench and computational
biology, due to our
recent understanding of unsuspected regulatory roles played by
RNA with important applications such as gene knock-down by using
small interfering RNA.
The goal of this special issue of the
Journal of Mathematical Biology is to present state-of-the-art
computational and mathematical methods used in the study of RNA.
Both original research articles as well as reviews are welcome.
Submission guidelines
Papers reporting on original research as well as surveys/reviews on
computational/mathematical methods in the study of RNA, its structure,
function, evolution, gene-finding, etc. should be submitted by the
deadline 1 October 2006.
To submit a paper, upload a postscript or PDF copy of the
paper HERE.
The paper should follow guidelines of
Journal of Mathematical Biology; in particular, please consult the
INSTRUCTIONS for AUTHORS.
