Systems biology research at BGRS-2018

Editorial: Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Systems Biology

“…The BGRS is the major event in the computational biology field, which has been held in Novosibirsk, Russia biannually since 1998. The main conference is typically followed by a series of special post-conference journal issues covering contemporary computational genetics and genomics applications (Orlov et al, 2016 , 2019a ; Tatarinova et al, 2019 ). First Special Issues covering BGRS\SB conference were presented in the Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in 2012 (Kolchanov and Orlov, 2013 ; Orlov et al, 2015 , 2019b ) and other platforms (Chen et al, 2017 ; Baranova et al, 2019 ; Orlov, 2019 ; Medical Genetics and Bioinformatics special issue).…”

Plant Biology and Biotechnology: Focus on Genomics and Bioinformatics

“…Some of the studies presented here were reported at the BGRS (Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure/Systems Biology) traditional biannual computational biology meeting in Novosibirsk, Russia [ 7 , 8 ]. The conference highlights recent advances in genomics, bioinformatics, systems biology, and biotechnology areas [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. This collection continues the studies in the field of bioinformatics that were presented initially in the Frontiers in Genetics journal [ 2 ], in the PeerJ journal ( , accessed on 14 June 2022), and recently at MDPI Life special issue [ 12 ].…”

“…To note history of the series of post-conference journal Special Issues we refer to Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure (BGRS) conference series [ 1 , 2 , 6 , 10 , 11 ] and related Schools on Systems Biology and Bioinformatics (SBB) held in Novosibirsk, Russia [ 7 , 9 , 18 ], later completed by other international conferences on genetics such as Belyaev Conference—2017 [ 19 ]. Here we collected works on the topics of gene expression regulation in plants; plant genomics and bioinformatics; plant stress response; miRNA and molecular mechanisms studies in plants; plant systems biology and digital phenotyping.…”
