Name of Lecture / Conference:

The 5^th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AICoB 2018)

Description / Introduction:

AlCoB 2018 aimed at promoting and displaying excellent research using string and graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization to deal with problems in biological sequence analysis, genome rearrangement, evolutionary trees, and structure prediction.

It addressed several of the current challenges in computational biology by investigating algorithms aimed at:

1. assembling sequence reads into a complete genome;

2. identifying gene structures in the genome;

3. recognizing regulatory motifs;

4. aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes;

5. reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and

6. inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species.
