Abstract
The 2011 International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB) conference, which is the annual scientific conference of the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet), is hosted by Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is co-organized with the first ISCB-Asia conference of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). InCoB and the sequencing of the human genome are both celebrating their tenth anniversaries and InCoB’s goalposts for the next decade, implementing standards in bioinformatics and globally distributed computational networks, will be discussed and adopted at this conference. Of the 49 manuscripts (selected from 104 submissions) accepted to BMC Genomics and BMC Bioinformatics conference supplements, 24 are featured in this issue, covering software tools, genome/proteome analysis, systems biology (networks, pathways, bioimaging) and drug discovery and design.

As InCoB’s 10th anniversary coincides with that of the human genome, the results of the systematic genome-wide sequencing applied to medical purposes, are appearing in the literature according to Collins [3], Venter [4] believes we still have a long way to go before genome sequencing reaches its full potential
In the Asia-Pacific, large scientific consortia are addressing personal genomic questions of local interest, such as the Pan Asian SNP initiative [12], which has provided a possible route for human migration into Asia [13]
