| Description | The Workshop on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology was held at Hotel Hutnik in Tatranské Matliare, Vysoké Tatry, Slovakia on September 22 – 23, 2023 as part of the ITAT conference. While the conference is a traditional forum for Slovak and Czech computer scientists, the workshop follows a more recent tradition of a relatively irregular extension of topics into the realm of bioinformatics and computational biology. Similarly to the main conference (ITAT), it serves as a platform for the exchange of ideas in a friendly but stimu- lating environment. The workshop allows younger researchers to meet their more seasoned colleagues in an informal setting, sparking discussions that would be hard to initiate else- where. For example, the settings often allow for a short hiking trip in the Slovak mountains. This year the organizers secured a keynote speaker from North America and also reached out with invitations to colleagues from neighboring countries, giving the workshop a more international tone. The topics of the workshop included algorithmic approaches and data structures for se- quencing data analysis and pangenome representation, molecular modeling, bioinformatics of repetitive sequences, and medical bioinformatics. The workshop program consisted of an invited talk by Travis Gagie (Dalhousie University, Canada), entitled “Flexible grammar-based indexes”, and 14 presentations based on 5 pro- ceedings articles and 9 short abstracts. All proceedings papers were reviewed by at least three anonymous reviewers and their full versions are published in the proceedings of ITAT 2023 published by CEUR-WS. This volume contains abstracts of all presentations from the workshop. |
