BioVis @ ISMB is an interdisciplinary event covering all aspects of visualization in biology. Organized as a Community of Special Interest (COSI), BioVis @ ISMB brings together researchers from the visualization, bioinformatics, and biology communities with the purpose of educating, inspiring, and engaging visualization researchers in problems in biological data visualization as well as bioinformatics and biology researchers in state-of-the-art visualization research.</div><div class=""><br class=""><b class="">Topics:</b></div><div class=""><br class="">We invite contributions on all aspects of data visualization in biology, from molecular to cell, tissue, organism and population biology.
