Workshop on Recent Applications of Bioinformatics and Ecoinformatics (WBE 2015)

Bioinformatics, the application of state-of-the-art computational technologies to analyse the information related to biomolecules for understanding their biologicalprocesses and regulation of gene expression and protein functions, has now become an important discipline in a wide range of molecular biology areas including systems biology, genomics and transcriptomics. Ecoinformatics, the management and analysis of environmental information through the application of computer technology, is also a rapidly developing area in ecology that facilitates large-scale research associated with natural resources.

The workshop of Bioinformatics and Ecoinformatics (WBE 2015) was held at Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Egypt in September 2015. The firstobjective of this workshop was to provide an up-to-date introduction intobasics and applications of bioinformatics in biological research using public data resources.
