    Dear Colleague,

Many of you provided your invaluable assistance in reviewing manuscripts 
for InCoB2006 - thank you.

This year's InCoB will be held in Hong Kong, 27-30 Aug., 2007. The website 
is ready and we would like to post the names of the Program Committee 
members there.

We will be calling for paper submissions shortly and we would like to 
request you to assist us review manuscripts for publication in 
BMC Bioinformatics as a supplement. 23 papers were published last 
year: 
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/7?issue=S5

The reviews will be during the period mid-April to June 2007. Could you 
please let me know whether you are happy to serve on the Program Committee?

If yes, kindly provide me your current affiliation and prefereed email 
address as well as upto five phrases, summarizing your areas of expertise. 
Due to the large numbers of reviewers who happily gave us their valuable 
time, very few reviewers had even two papers to review, while all 
submissions received 2-3 expert reviews.

We look forward to your renewed support and see you in Hong Kong.

With best wishes,

on behalf of InCoB2007 Co-Chairs,

Shoba Ranganathan 
President, APBioNet 
Chairperson, InCoB ExCo
