Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems Practical Applications of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics, 15th International Conference (Pacbb 2021), Book 325, (Paperback)

This book features novel research papers spanning many different subfields in bioinformatics and computational biology, presenting the latest research on the practical applications to promote fruitful interactions between young researchers in different areas related to the field. Clearly, biology is increasingly becoming a science of information, requiring tools from the computational sciences. To address these challenges, we have seen the emergence of a new generation of interdisciplinary scientists with a strong background in the biological and computational sciences. PACBB'21 expects to contribute to this effort by encouraging a successful collaboration of researchers in different areas related to bioinformatics. The PACBB'21 technical program included 17 papers covering many different subfields in bioinformatics and computational biology. Therefore, this conference, held in Salamanca (Spain), definitely promotes the collaboration of scientists from different research groups and with different backgrounds (computer scientists, mathematicians, biologists) to reach breakthrough solutions for these challenges.
