会议背景介绍： Our summer school on “Chips, computers and crops” aims to teach best practice in the application of state-of-the-art computational techniques and genomic technologies to crop research. The summer school will cover interdisciplinary science, in a rapidly evolving field, bringing together ideas from the fields of mathematics, bioinformatics, genomics and post-genomic experiments on model organisms. Moreover, given the recent dramatic rise in staple food prices across the globe, it is an area of science of particular strategic interest. 
征文范围及要求： The conference invites participants to contribute high-quality original research abstracts/papers in any aspect of chip,computer or crop.The topics for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

Theories, methodologies and experimental results

Biological computing
Crop systems biology
Omics data mining and integration in crop plants

Applications and platform

Bioinformatics approaches for crop plants research.
Computational biology
Systems biology and synthetic biology
Web and networks
