BMC Bioinformatics 2012, 13:79Ranking protein-protein interactions
A novel unsupervised statistical approach for ranking protein-protein interactions called interaction detection based on shuffling reduces inherent experiment-dependent noise and increases the likelihood of detecting high confidence protein interactions.

BMC Bioinformatics 2012, 13:48A novel greedy algorithm for NGS assembly
Mapsembler, a sequence assembly tool for desktop computers, uses NGS reads from newly sequenced, non-assembled genomes or transcriptomes to provide targeted assemblies and has retrieved known gene fusions in human cancer and discovered new ones

Scope
BMC Bioinformatics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the development, testing and novel application of computational and statistical methods for the modeling and analysis of all kinds of biological data, as well as other areas of computational biology.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
Call for papers
BMC Bioinformatics is accepting submissions to an article series on Cancer bioinformatics: Bioinformatic methods, network biomarkers and precision medicine. Jointly published across BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Cancer, Genome Medicine and Journal of Clinical Bioinformatics, submissions will be welcomed until 1st November 2012. Please see the call for papers for details including how to submit.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
