Call for Papers
Regular papers (8–10 pages) will be peer-reviewed by
the program committee and judged by quality, originality and relevance. Submissions may cover any area of
bioinformatics. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings.
Highlight papers (4 pages) should report on recent
work, preferably published during the present or past
year. Topics include biological findings with bioinformatics methods, new computational methods or new
software tools. Highlight abstracts will be made available via the conference website.
Posters should present recent scientific work in any area
of bioinformatics. The abstracts of accepted posters will
be printed in the conference proceedings.
Call for Workshops
The GCB 2014 Program Committee invites proposals
for satellite workshops. The workshops will be held on
September 28 at Bielefeld University.

Recent meetings attracted an international audience
of 250–300 participants. The GCB 2014 is organized
by the bioinformatics groups of Bielefeld University
in cooperation with the German Society for Chemical
Engineering and Biotechnology (DECHEMA), the Special
Interest Group on Informatics in Biology of the German
Society of Computer Science (GI), and the Society for
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM). The conference program will be augmented by additional satellite
workshops on September 28.
