[ARTICLE] A global initiative on addressing bioinformatics’ grand challenges
Journal Excerpt:
The Bioinformatics Grand Challenges Consortium (BGCC) is a collaborative effort to address the most pressing challenges in bioinformatics. Initially focusing on education and training, the consortium successfully defined seven key grand challenges and is actively developing actionable solutions for these challenges. Building on this foundation, the BGCC plans to broaden its focus to include additional grand challenges in emerging areas.

Selected Papers from the 19th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB 2020)
The 19th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB 2020) will be held virtually from Nov 25–29, 2020 across Asia-Pacific and beyond.
The event webpage is: https://incob.apbionet.org/incob20/.
InCoB has been held annually since 2002. Originally organized through coordination between the Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet) and the Thailand National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) in 2002, the meeting has since been the flagship conference of the APBioNet. InCoB 2020 has taken on the theme of “Bioinformatics and the translation of data-driven discoveries”.
