This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Annual International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology, RECOMB 2015, held in Warsaw, Poland, in April 2015. They report on original research in all areas of computational molecular biology and bioinformatics.

This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 4th Brazilian Sym- sium on Bioinformatics, BSB 2009, which was held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, during August 29–31, 2009. The BSB symposium had its origins in the Brazilian Workshop on Bioinformatics (WOB). WOB had three editions, in 2002 (Gramado, RS), in 2003 (Macaé, RJ), and in 2004 (Brasília, DF). The change in the designation from wo- shop to symposium reflects the increase in the quality of the contributions and also in the interest of the scientific community for the meeting. The previous editions of BSB took place in São Leopoldo, RS, in 2005, in Angra dos Reis, RJ, in 2007, and in Santo André, SP, in 2008. As evidence of the internationalization of the event, BSB 2009 had 55 submissions from seven countries. Of the 55 papers submitted, 36 were full papers, with up to 12 pages each, and 19 were extended abstracts, with up to 4 pages each. The articles submitted were carefully reviewed and selected by an international Program Comm- tee, comprising three chairs and 45 members from around the world, with the help of 21 additional reviewers. The Program Committee Chairs are very thankful to the - thors of all submitted papers, and especially to the Program Committee members and the additional reviewers, who helped select the 12 full papers and the six extended abstracts that make up this book.

th The 6 International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA2010)washeldduringMay23-26,2010attheUniversityofConnecticut, Storrs, Connecticut. The symposium provided a forum for the exchange of new results and ideas among researchers, developers, and practitioners working on all aspects of bioinformatics, computational biology, and their applications. The program of the symposium included 20 contributed papers selected by the ProgramCommittee from 57 submissions received in response to the call for papers. The symposium also included poster presentations and featured invited keynote talks by six distinguished speakers: Catalin Barbacioru from Life Te- nologies spoke on tracing the early cell divisions of mouse embryos by single cell RNA-seq, Piotr Berman from Pennsylvania State University spoke on successes and failures of elegant algorithms in computational biology, Mark Gerstein from Yale University spoke on human genome annotation, Ivan Ovcharenko from the National Center for Biotechnology Information spoke on the structure of pro- mal and distant regulatory elements in the human genome, Laxmi Parida from the IBM T. J.Watson Research Center spoke on combinatorics in recombi- tional population genomics, and Mona Singh from Princeton University spoke on predicting and analyzing cellular networks. We would like to thank the Program Committee members and external - viewers for volunteering their time to review and discuss symposium papers.
