Topics of
Interest
This
session will focus on the current state-of-the-art informatics research taking
place in proteomics. The goals of this
session are the presentation and discussion of research, algorithms, and
methods for proteomics issues. Examples
of areas of interest include, but are not restricted to
·
Peptide/protein
identification
·
Detection of
post-translational modifications
·
Statistical
measures of confidence
·
Methods of
normalization or quantification
·
Protein-protein
interactions
·
Standards
·
Visualization
A
special emphasis is placed on MS-based proteomics, but research associated with
other proteomic technologies is welcomed.

General
Information on PSB
The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2006 is an
international, multidisciplinary conference for the presentation and discussion
of current research in the theory and application of computational methods in
problems of biological significance. Papers and presentations are rigorously
peer reviewed and are published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2006
will be held
The PSB has
been designed to be responsive to the need for critical mass in sub-disciplines
within biocomputing. For that reason, it is the only meeting whose sessions are
defined dynamically each year in response to specific proposals. PSB sessions
are organized by leaders in the emerging areas and targeted to provide a forum
for publication and discussion of research in biocomputing's "hot
topics." In this way, PSB provides an early forum for serious examination
of emerging methods and approaches in this rapidly changing field. More
information on the conference can be obtained from the conference web page: http://psb.stanford.edu/.

Submission
Information
The conference is focused on rigorously peer-reviewed full-length
papers on original research. The
accepted manuscripts will be published in a bound archival proceeding,
available online via the PSB website, and referenced in online sources such as
PubMed. The best of the papers will be
accepted for oral presentation to the entire conference. A poster session is available for researchers
who wish to present their work without official publication.
All papers must be submitted to russ.altman@stanford.edu in
electronic format. Only files in one of
three formats are acceptable: postscript (*.ps), Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf), and
Microsoft word (*.doc). Attached files
should be named with the first author’s last name (e.g., altman.pdf). Hardcopy submission or unprocessed
Each paper must be accompanied by a cover letter with the
following information:
·
Email address of
corresponding author
·
The specific PSB
session that should review the paper or abstract
·
A list of 5
individuals qualified to review the paper
·
The submitted
papers contains original, unpublished results, and is not currently under
consideration elsewhere
·
All co-authors
concur with the contents of the paper
Submitted papers are
limited to twelve (12) pages in the official PSB publication format. Please
format your paper according to these instructions, which can be found at http://psb.stanford.edu/psb-online/psb-submit/.
If figures cannot be easily resized and placed precisely in the text, then it
should be clear that with appropriate modifications, the total manuscript
length would be within the page limit.
