The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) 2022 was 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 were rigorously peer reviewed and were published in an archival proceedings volume. PSB 2022 was held on January 3-7, 2022 at the Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island of Hawaii, Hawaii, USA. 2022 marks the 27th year of PSB.
PSB 2022 brought together top researchers from the US, the Asian Pacific nations, and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of computational biology. PSB is a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology.
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.
PSB offered five workshops. The workshops were created
to provide an opportunity for a gathering that will not be based on peer-reviewed papers included in the proceedings book.
The workshops consisted of presentations by invited speakers. Abstract submissions for the workshops were evaluated by the
workshop co-chairs.
The core of the conference consists of rigorously peer-reviewed full-length papers reporting on original work.
Olga Troyanska, Professor at the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the Department of Computer Science at Princeton University, gave a talk entitled Decoding the genome to uncover molecular basis of human disease.
Rob Reich, Professor of Political Science, director of the Center for Ethics in Society, co-director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, and associate director of the Institute for Human-Centered AI, gave a talk entitled Carbon versus Silicon: Professional Ethics.
