Journal Choices
BMC Genomics
All aspects of genome‐scale analysis, functional genomics, and proteomics are considered.
(http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcgenomics/)
Please read the descriptions of each of the article types, choose which is appropriate for your article and structure it accordingly. If in doubt, your manuscript should be formatted as a Research article.
Please create a single PDF file for review using the BMC Genomics Microsoft manuscript template (http://www.biomedcentral.com/download/templates/BMC153n.dot Mac and Windows compatible; Microsoft Word 98/2000), containing the complete manuscript including references, tables and figure legends and all figures (one per page).

Accepted papers will be collectively published in a supplementary (InCoB/ISCB-Asia Joint Conference 2011 conference) issue. Article‐processing charges (APC) might be discounted, depending on negotiations with BioMed Central. The InCoB/ISCB-Asia Joint Conference 2011 organizers will collect APC and transfer them in bulk to BioMed Central. For details and waivers see Frequently asked questions about BioMed Central's article‐processing charges (http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/about/apcfaq).
A few manuscripts that are not accepted in the BMC supplement may be offered publication in Bioinformation, after suitable reformatting. If authors accept this offer, a manuscript following the Bioinformation Author Guidelines (http://www.bioinformation.net/journal/instructions.htm) should be submitted to EDAS, using the Attachment text box under the Upload paper section. In this case, authors are also required to pay an APC of USD 200 directly to Bioinformation.

The journal considers the following types of articles:
- Research: reports of data from original research.
- Database articles: describe a new database or a substantial improvement of an existing database.
- Methodology articles: present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method.
- Short reports: brief reports of data from original research.
- Software articles: describe the source code for software applications, tools or algorithm implementations. Typically, an archive of the source code of the current version of the software should be included with the submitted manuscript as a supplementary file.

Minimum Information About a Bioinformatics Investigation
At InCoB2009, Singapore, a consensus was reached that standards for publication of scientific claims based on bioinformatics investigation and computational biology techniques should be elevated to include basic information necessary for an in silico experiment to be repeated and the results reproducible. Authors submitting papers, particularly Asian authors, whose names may be English transliterations e.g. X. Li or T.W. Tan, will have multiple instances which require disambiguation. This is essential if authors need to be contacted and traced to the correct individual.
As such, the APBioNet secretariat has been working with the National University of Singapore and the Asian Bioinformation Centers (ABCs) to design and operate an alpha test site aid.apbionet.org and docid.apbionet.org to provide the infrastructure for author registration and document deposition, including deposition of datasets and software described or used in a scientific publication. Where a database is concerned, the database deposition site and database re-instantiation site at biodb100.apbionet.org is currently being built. APBioNet secretariat is currently working with InCoB2009 authors of papers accepted for publication in BMC Bioinformatics/Genomics and Bioinformation special conference supplements in a post‐publication process to test drive the document/dataset/database/software submission process as well as the author identification registry. It is hoped that this mechanism will provide the basis for a minimum information standard to be implemented for the paper submission process for InCoB-ISCB Asia Joint Conference 2011, either via a pre‐submission or post‐publication.
The process is being under negotiation with the InCoB/ISCB-Asia Joint Conference 2011 steering committee, organizers and editors of the InCoB/ISCB-Asia Joint Conference 2011. Compliance to a MIABi standard requires more than author identification and data submission. Editors and reviewers will need to be updated on the requirements for MIABi. More information about a comprehensive MIABi compliance will be circulated for discussion soon. The level of compliance required for the InCoB/ISCB-Asia Joint Conference 2011submissions will be announced as soon as negotiations with newly appointed editors are completed.
