Special Sessions

Special sessions are very small and specialized events to be held during the conference as a set of oral and poster presentations that are highly specialized in some particular theme or consisting of the works of some particular international project. The goal of special sessions (minimum 4 papers; maximum 9) is to provide a focused discussion on innovative topics. All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference proceedings book, under an ISBN reference, and on CD-ROM support. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library. SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef and every paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The proceedings are submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index) and Scopus.

Scope

MicroRNAs regulate protein abundance on the post-transcriptional level. For experimental discovery they need to be co-expressed with their target mRNA and their effect needs to be measured on the protein level. These complications, led to a rise in interest in computational prediction of miRNAs. Computational miRNomics covers all areas ranging from pri- and pre-miRNA detection to the prediction of protein abundance and regulatory networks as well as their intersection with gene regulatory ones. The workshop aims to assemble experts in the field to establish a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in computational miRNomics.
