Bioinformatics Open Source Conference

The Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) is an academic conference on open-source programming in bioinformatics organised by the Open Bioinformatics Foundation. The conference has been held annually since 2000 and is run as a two-day satellite meeting preceding the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference.

Program

The conference is held as a single track consisting of presentations, poster sessions and two keynote talks by people of influence in open-source bioinformatics.[1]

Since 2010, an informal two-day Codefest has been held directly preceding the conference.[3][4]

History

NIH Associate Director for Data Science Philip Bourne and C. Titus Brown gave keynote talks at BOSC 2014.[5]

BOSC 2016 was organized in Orlando, Florida from July 8–9 before the main ISMB conference.[6]
