Call for Papers

The IEEE BIBM 2021 Workshop on Long Non-Coding RNAs: Mechanism, Function, and Computational Analysis (BIBM-LncRNA)  will be held in conjunction with the 2021 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2021), Dec. 9 - 12, 2021.

Though the BIBM conference will be virtual/online, the LncRNA workshop will be held in a mixed mode -- both virtual/remote and face-to-face in Dubai, UAE.

The recent application of high throughput technologies to transcriptomics has changed our view of gene regulation and function. The discovery of extensive transcription of large RNA transcripts, termed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), provide an important and new perspective on the centrality of RNA in gene regulation. LncRNAs are involved in various biological and cellular processes, such as genetic imprinting, chromatin remodeling, gene regulation and embryonic development. LncRNAs have been implicated in several chronic diseases, such as cancers, and heart disease, etc. Various types of genomic data on lncRNAs are currently available, including sequences, secondary/tertiary structures, transcriptome data, and their interactions with related proteins or genes. The key challenge is how to integrate data from myriad sources to determine the functions and the regulatory mechanism of these ubiquitous lncRNAs.

Research topics:
The potential topics include, but not limited to, the following:

lncRNA detection and biomarker discovery
CLIP-Seq and RIP-Seq data analysis
Prediction of physical binding between lncRNA and DNA, RNA and protein.
Competition and interaction between lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA
Studying methylation regulating lncRNA functions
Function Prediction for lncRNAs
Deep learning approaches to lncRNA/RNA binding protein prediction
Computational approaches to analyzing lncRNA
lncRNA 3D secondary structures
lncRNA-protein interactions
lncRNA in epigenetic regulation
lncRNA associated diseases network
lncRNAs in plant genomics
lncRNAs in phenotype-genotype problems
lncRNAs and single cell transcriptomics
lncRNAs and spatial transcriptomics
CRISPR/Cas9 and Genome editing in lncRNAs

We invite you to submit papers with unpublished, original research describing recent advances on the areas related to this workshop.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 workshop. Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their papers for submission to special issues in prestigious Journals.

Fellowships:
Funds are available for limited fellowships to support the participation of students, and of researchers from underrepresented minority groups in the workshop.

We aim at supporting at least one author for each accepted paper, depending on number of papers, and on availability of funds.


Journal Special Issue:
Authors of selected submissions will be invited to extend their papers for submission for review and possible publication in a special issue of the journal -- Non-Coding RNA. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ncrna


Paper Submission:
Please submit a full-length paper (up to 8 page IEEE 2-column format) through the online submission system. Electronic submissions in pdf format are required.
