Secondly, gene networks were reconstructed for glioblastoma [7] . In summary, this special issue encompasses novel algorithms, algorithm transfer from a different domain, and the application of bioinformatics tools on the analysis of several cancers. We hope that the 2nd International Applied Bioinformatics Conference will be held in hybrid (in presence, but including live streams). Special issue on COVID-19 data integration opportunities and vaccine development strategies Fast alignment of reads to a variation graph with application to SNP detection Modular network inference between miRNA-mRNA expression profiles using weighted co-expression network analysis An evaluation study of biclusters visualization techniques of gene expression data Disparity-filtered differential correlation network analysis: a case study on CRC metabolomics In silico approach to elucidate POTEE paralog in ovarian cancer Glioblastoma gene network reconstruction and ontology analysis by online bioinformatics tools Author contribution: All the authors have accepted responsibility for the entire content of this submitted manuscript and approved submission.
