The theme of the 2012 International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB) in Bangkok, Thailand was "From Biological Data to Knowledge to Technological Breakthroughs." Besides providing a forum for life scientists and bioinformatics researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to meet and interact, the conference also hosted thematic sessions on the Pan-Asian Pacific Genome Initiative and immunoinformatics. Over the seven years of conference papers published in BMC Bioinformatics and four years in BMC Genomics, we note that there is increasing interest in the applications of -omics technologies to the understanding of diseases, as a forerunner to personalized genomic medicine.
2012 年在泰国曼谷举行的生物信息学国际会议（InCoB）的主题是“从生物数据到知识再到技术突破”。除了为亚太地区的生命科学家和生物信息学研究人员提供一个交流的平台外，该会议还举办了泛太平洋基因组计划和免疫信息学的主题会议。在 BMC 生物信息学发表会议论文的七年和 BMC 基因组学的四年中，我们注意到，人们对 -omics 技术在疾病理解中的应用越来越感兴趣，这是个性化基因组医学的先驱。
