Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing field of knowledge. Each of the past Young Scientists Schools concerned topics urgent at those times. To preserve this tradition, the SBB-2015 will be dedicated to bioinformatics and systems biology in such areas as:

• Genomics and evolutionary bioinformatics
• Structural biology and molecular dynamics
• Molecular-genetic systems analysis

Practical workshops will include following topics:  

• Metagenomics: high-throughput sequencing data analysis in the study of microbial communities
• Modeling of apoptosis cd95 signaling pathway
• Structural biology: drug design
• Molecular phylogeny and evolution

Young scientists, PhD students and undergraduate students are invited to participate in the School. Particularly, we encourage those of you who are interested in modern theoretical approaches in biology and their application on different biological objects. The School Program include lecture session and practical works on modern approaches of biological data analysis and high-throughput computing. The Young Scientists School includes also poster and oral presentation of young scientists. The best presentations will be awarded by certificates and prizes from the Committee and sponsors. Best reports also will be recommended for full-text publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Important dates:
• Registration to the School on-line – May 20, 2016
• Abstract submission – May 20, 2016
• Notification of acceptance – June 10, 2016
• The School events – 22-25 August, 2016

Registration fee: 3500 rubles. The working language: is English.
Venue: Novosibirsk, Lavrentyeva ave. 10, ICG SB RAS.

History and photos from previous Schools on Systems biology and Bioinformatics are available: First School -2008; Second School- 2010; Third School – 2011; Fourth School -2012; Fifth School – 2013; Sixth School – 2014; Seventh School – 2015

The Young Scientists School will be held in frames of the International Multiconference on Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\Systems Biology – BGRS\SB-2016: https://conf.icgbio.ru/bgrssb2016/

One of the important tasks of plant genetics is the search for fundamental knowledge useful for breeding new highly productive cultivars with characteristics that have implications for end-product quality. It is therefore deemed critically important to understand – through discussing achievements and prospects in plant genetics and genomics related to plant breeding and food security – in what direction fundamental research should proceed.

The Workshop’s main goal is to promote international collaboration between the Russian Federation and foreign countries in modern plant genetics as one of the most important source of knowledge and solutions for food security.

The Workshop’s main objectives are:

• to identify the direction in which fundamental research in plant genetics and genomics should proceed for food security to be reached;
• to broaden international contacts and to develop joint scientific programs in this field;
• to enhance involvement of young scientists in these international programs.

The Workshop will give accounts of recent achievements in the genetics and genomics of cultivated plants and discuss prospects for research and the capabilities of modern molecular-genetic and genomic approaches to controlling plant productivity and technological properties that have importance for end-product quality. The achievements will be discussed – with the participation of geneticists, biotechnologists and economists – in the context of a shift from more chemicals to more technology for smooth and organic control of the quality of primary and final products, with an ultimate goal of reaching food security (food accessibility, affordability, quality and safety).
