GECCO Workshop: International Workshop on Evolutionary Computation in Bioinformatics (proceedings published by ACM)
+
Special Issue in the Journal IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (Impact Factor: 1.543, Quartile Q1)
---

We seek original, high-quality research papers, clearly focused on the application of Evolutionary Computation to any possible Bioinformatics problem. In particular, contributions are solicited on, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Multiobjective Optimization in Bioinformatics.
- Parallel and Distributed Evolutionary Techniques in Bioinformatics.
- Swarm Intelligence in Bioinformatics.
- Metaheuristics in Bioinformatics.
- Evolutionary and Bio-inspired Algorithms in Bioinformatics.
- Artificial Immune Systems in Bioinformatics.
- Machine Learning and Data Mining in Bioinformatics.
- Fuzzy and Neural Systems in Bioinformatics.
- Classification and Decision Making in Bioinformatics.

With regard to the Bioinformatics problems, many different alternatives exist: biological sequence analysis, comparison and alignment; motif, gene and signal recognition/discovery; molecular evolution; phylogenetics and phylogenomics; determination or prediction of the structure of RNA and protein; DNA twisting and folding; gene expression and gene regulatory networks; deduction of metabolic pathways; microarray design and analysis; proteomics; functional genomics; molecular docking; design of DNA sequences for DNA computing; etc.
