BMC Bioinformatics is currently running a author opt in pilot in partnership with Code Ocean, to faciliate peer review of source code.
With Stem Cell Awareness day on the 13th October this year we have compiled an article collection from across different BMC Series journals covering aspects of basic stem cell biology; in vitro differentiation studies; stem-cell based therapy studies for various conditions in animal models; technical advancements and ethical issues.
In recognition of World Patient Safety Awareness day on 17th September, the BMC Series presents a focus issue on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research. We have collated free-to-read content from across our journals - showcasing patient perspectives, research into the study of PPI, and engaging public partners as co-authors in research.

We are currently looking for new Associate Editors to join our team of academic editors, assessing manuscripts in the field of bioinformatics. We are particularly interested in hearing from researchers specializing in machine learning and artificial intelligence but all applications will be considered.
The BMC Series Editorial site serves as a home for editorial board resources and as an online community, facilitating interaction and networking between the editorial board and the BMC series in-house team.
