Genomic Signal Processing

Call for Papers

Genomic signal processing is the engineering discipline that studies modeling and statistical issues related to biological signals obtained from high-throughput measurement technology. Applications of genomic signal processing typically involve the discovery of molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, the inference of gene and protein regulatory networks, the study of new algorithms for managing and processing large volumes of sequence information, and more. This special issue intends to be an international forum for the diffusion of the latest results and ideas in the field. We invite authors to contribute research articles on methods of statistical signal processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, statistical and probabilistic modeling, and related fields, in the context of applications that include, but are not limited to:

  • Discovery of molecular signatures and biomarkers
  • Gene and protein sequence analysis
  • Deep-sequencing data analysis
  • Functional genomics
  • Phylogenetic analysis
  • Modeling and analysis of microarray and mass spectrometry data
  • Integrated analysis of diverse high-throughput data
  • Denoising and compression of genomic data
  • Regulatory network modeling, simulation, and inference
  • Pathway identification and analysis
