Call for Papers
****************************************************************************************
The challenge for Integrative Bioinformatics in the e-Science age is
to capture, model, integrate, and analyse data generated in high throughput experiments
in a consistent way. The aim is to provide systematic and integrative insights into complex
biological systems.

This ninth meeting on Integrative Bioinformatics will be of interested to Bioinformaticians,
Computer Scientists, Systems Biologists, and others working in, or interested in
finding out more about, the developing area of integrative bioinformatics.
You will have excelent opportunities to present and discuss methods, theoretical approaches,
and their practical applications.

IB2013 is organized by the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK)
and IMBio e.V.
