Following your heart in bioinformatics can take you anywhere: to a research project, an algorithm, an educational game, an analysis platform, science outreach, a parallel bioinformatics project, a predictive model, or any number of other possibilities. So, this year, in addition to the poster and software demo presentations, we will be inviting the top abstract authors to deliver a flash talk during the Next Generation Bioinformaticians (NGB) sessions.
The submission opens on March 06th and will close for early submissions on April 28th. NGB invitations will be sent until May 06. The earlier you submit your abstract, the earlier you may receive your response; don't wait until the last second to submit!
