This is the 14th Great Lakes Bioinformatics (GLBIO) conference. GLBIO is organized by the Great Lakes Bioinformatics Consortium to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of research findings and methods. An important goal for the conference is to foster long term collaborative relationships and networking opportunities within the domain of computational approaches to biology. The program will include oral presentations, poster presentations, invited keynote speakers and tutorials.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions are invited for full papers, oral presentation abstracts, and posters at the 14th Great Lakes Bioinformatics Conference, an official conference of the International Society for Computational Biology. This is an invitation to scientists and professionals working in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology to submit high quality original research papers for presentation at GLBIO 2021. Authors of papers and oral abstracts that are accepted to the conference will present their work at the conference (longer talks for full papers, shorter talks for the abstracts). GLBIO 2021 does not have a conference proceedings, but accepted full papers will be considered for inclusion in a potential PLOS special collection devoted to GLBIO 2021 with individual papers appearing in PLOS Computational Biology or PLOS One. For example, see the GLBIO 2019 PLOS special collection here: https://collections.plos.org/collection/glbio2019. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Full papers for Oral Presentation - Submission deadline is February 1, 2021
• Abstracts for Oral Presentation - Submission deadline is March 1, 2021
• Posters - Submission deadline is March 1, 2021
