Welcome to the workshop on International Workshop on RNA Informatics (IWRI 2020) in BIBM 2020!
The IWRI 2020 is the eleventh in a series of workshops that aim at providing an international forum to discuss the most recent developments in the field regarding application of informatics on noncoding RNAs, RNA modifications including methylation, and other related work. This workshop will feature the theme of "RNA informatics" and "RNA modifications". The scope of this workshop is to use machine learning, deep learning, knowledge graph, and other genome technology and informatics methods to contribute to the understanding of the structure, function, evolution, comparative genomics, and regulation of noncoding RNAs and RNA modifications.
Submission Guidelines
We invite you to submit papers with unpublished, original research describing recent advances on the areas related to this workshop. All papers will undergo peer review by the conference program committee. All papers accepted will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops.
