InCoB became since its inception in 2002 one of the largest annual bioinformatics conferences in the Asia-Pacific region with attendance ranging between 150 and 250 delegates depending on the venue location. InCoB 2016 in Singapore was attended by almost 220 delegates. This year, sessions on structural bioinformatics, sequence and sequencing, and next-generation sequencing fielded the highest number of oral presentation. Forty-four out 96 oral presentations were associated with an accepted manuscript in supplemental issues of BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Genomics, BMC Medical Genomics or BMC Systems Biology. Articles with a genomics focus are reviewed in this editorial. Next year's InCoB will be held in Shenzen, China from September 20 to 22, 2017.
自2002年创办以来,亚太生物信息学会议(InCoB)已成为该地区规模最大的年度生物信息学会议之一。根据会议举办地点的不同,参会人数在150至250名代表之间。2016年在新加坡举办的InCoB会议吸引了近220名代表参加。今年,结构生物信息学、序列与测序以及新一代测序等主题的会议安排了最多的口头报告。96场口头报告中有44场与发表在《BMC生物信息学》《BMC基因组学》《BMC医学基因组学》或《BMC系统生物学》增刊上的已接受稿件相关。本社论对聚焦基因组学的文章进行了综述。明年的InCoB将于2017年9月20日至22日在中国深圳举行。
