It is our pleasure to announce the Sixth Annual RECOMB Satellite Meeting on
Comparative Genomics and issue this call for submissions. We are looking
forward to another great meeting, this year in Paris, France. We have an
exciting group of confirmed keynote speakers, and anticipate a vibrant
series of "late breaking talks" selected from the paper and poster
submissions. Please consider submitting your own work for papers, posters,
and talks. Submission details can be found below and on the conference
website: http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/RCG08

Best Regards,
  	Craig Nelson & Stephane Vialette (PC Co-chairs)
  	Jens Lagergren, Aoife McLysaght, & David Sankoff (Steering
Committee)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system. Submissions must be
received in electronic form by 11:59pm (Paris local time), June 16th, 2008.

Submissions should be no longer than 12 single-spaced A4 pages with
1.25-inch margins all around, everything included (title, authors,
addresses, abstract, references, figures, tables), in at least a 10-point
font. An optional short appendix may contain details or additional data to
be consulted at the discretion of the program committee. Note that authors
of accepted papers will have to reformat them for the proceedings using the
Springer LNCS style, which has even
wider margins. It may save the authors' some work if this format is used
from the outset. The submission must include the corresponding author's
email address.

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the paper is submitted to the conference, and
for the entire review period, the paper should not be under review by any
other conference or scientific journal.

Note that accepted papers will be considered as preliminary work, and may be
submitted to a journal publication after notification of acceptance.

Successful submissions will be invited for a 20-minute presentation, and the
paper will be printed in the conference proceedings, which will be published
by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics" series.

Address any questions to the program committee chairs:
Craig E. Nelson (Craig.Nelson at uconn.edu)
Stephane Vialette (vialette at univ-mlv.fr)

THEME AND SCOPE

Rapid DNA sequencing technologies have fueled an explosion in genome level
data. RECOMB-CG is devoted to the development and utilization of
computational methods for the comparative exploration of genome structure,
function, and evolution. Both theoretical and applied contributions are
welcome, and papers that combine new techniques with new knowledge derived
from their application are highly encouraged.

Submissions should include genome wide analyses informed by comparative
data. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  Algorithms for comparative genomics
  Genome rearrangements
  Ancestral genome reconstruction
  Multiple genome alignment
  Genome sequence comparison
  Modeling genome evolution
  Identification, classification, and evolution of non-coding motifs
  Comparative genomics for genome annotation
  Gene and genome duplication
  Evolution of gene families
  Identification of highly conserved and rapidly evolving sequences
  Gene tree reconciliation
  Comparative genomics and epigenetics
  Comparative genomics and proteomics
  Comparative genomics and gene expression
  Comparative genomics and adaptation
