Call for Papers: RNA Algorithms

Algorithms for Molecular Biology is calling for submissions to our Collection on RNA Algorithms. We welcome submissions from the broader computational RNA research community that develop the next generation of methods to enhance RNA structure prediction, including 2D and 3D features, identify functional RNA elements within genomes, and synthesize novel classes of functional RNAs.

Featured Collection: Selected papers from WABI 2024

Algorithms for Molecular Biology is proud to publish the extended proceedings of WABI 2024, an international conference covering research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology.

Aims and scope

Algorithms for Molecular Biology publishes articles on novel and improved algorithms and methods in bioinformatics. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: algorithms for RNA and protein structure analysis, gene prediction and genome analysis, comparative sequence analysis and alignment, phylogeny, gene expression, combinatorial algorithms, statistical methods, machine learning, and network analysis.

Where appropriate, manuscripts should also describe applications to real-world data and/or evaluations of algorithms on simulated data. Pure algorithm papers are welcome if future applications to biological data are to be expected, or if they address complexity or approximation issues of novel computational problems in molecular biology. Articles about novel software tools and benchmarking studies will be considered for publication if they contain algorithmically interesting aspects. The journal does not publish applications of established tools, methods, or workflows to particular biological case studies and descriptions of incremental improvements of software tools or data resources.
