Abstract

The fourth edition of the “International Society for Computational Biology - Latin America (ISCB-LA)” Bioinformatics Conference, jointly organised with the Argentine Association for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (A2B2C), was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November 2016. The ISCB-LA 2016 conference aimed at showcasing the latest findings in the field from researchers at all career levels in the region and beyond, and promoting collaborations to further develop Bioinformatics and Computational Biology in Latin America. Here we present a brief report on the main activities held during the Conference and their successful outcomes.
