Posters - XMEETING 2026
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 presentations, we will be inviting the top abstract authors to deliver a flash talk during the Next Generation Bioinformaticians (NGB) sessions.
The X-Meeting 2026 Program Committee invites submissions of original research presenting novel theoretical results, techniques, and applications in the thematic areas of Bioinformatics:
- Database and Software Development
- DNA and Genomics
- Education and Outreach
- Phylogeny and Evolution
- Proteins and Proteomics
- RNA and Transcriptomics
- Systems Biology and Modeling
If you have any questions, please contact
Next-Generation Bioinformaticians (NGB) - accepted for oral presentation at XM26
In this session, each participant will have 10 minutes for presentation, followed by 5 minutes for questions (Q&A) and discussion. Please note that the presentation materials must be in English. The oral presentation may be delivered in the author’s preferred language; however, the use of English is strongly encouraged.
