Call for Papers
The success of bioinformatics in recent years has been prompted by the advanced signal processing technologies, in particular, estimation theory, classification, pattern recognition, information theory, networks, imaging, image processing, coding theory, and speech recognition. For example, Fourier analysis methods are used to elucidate the relationship between sequence structure and function; wavelet analysis methods have been applied in sequence comparison and classification; and various image processing methods have been developed to improve microarray image quality.
The development of advanced high-throughput technologies such as genome sequencing and whole genome expression analysis creates new opportunities and poses new challenges for signal processing community. It provides an interesting application domain for signal processing that analyzes data for life science problems such as time series simulation and prediction, casual modeling, and structure prediction. It is drawing a growing interest from the signal processing community. The goal of this special issue is to present cutting edge signal processing methods with applications to bioinformatics. While such research is of interdisciplinary nature, this special issue will focus on computational aspects of bioinformatics research.
