[SocBiN] Call for papers RECOMB Comparative Genomics, 2012, Niterói, Brazil

[Jens Lagergren]

Tenth Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics

October 17-19, 2012, Niterói, Brazil

Website: www.uff.br/recombcg

Contributions to the workshop are welcomed on any theoretical and/or
empirical approach to genome-wide comparison. This includes genome
evolution, algorithms for genome rearrangement, comparative tools for
assembly, gene identification or annotation, comparison of functional
networks, genomic variation in humans and model organisms, cancer
genomics, duplication patterns of genes, segments and whole genomes,
and comparative epigenetics. We encourage paper submissions that offer
new biological findings or otherwise highlight their relevance to
biology. Refereed papers will be published as open-access manuscripts
in the journal BMC Bioinformatics.

THEME AND SCOPE

The continuing advance of DNA sequencing technology has produced an
avalanche of genome sequence and genome structural information across
the evolutionary spectrum. Transforming that information into
biological knowledge requires creative and innovative new
computational and statistical methods for comparative genomics.

The RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics aims to provide
the premier forum for new computational developments applied to all
aspects of comparative genomics. We solicit contributions on topics
including comparison of genome structure and organization, genome
function, and evolution. We particularly encourage contributions that
use new computational methods to acquire new insight into biological
processes. Advances in computational theory are welcome, though all
submissions should include genome-scale analyses informed by
comparative data.

All peer-reviewed and accepted RECOMB-CG manuscripts will be published
in a supplement to BMC Bioinformatics as open-access,
author-subsidized, articles.

Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Gene and genome duplication
Gene family evolution
Genome structural variation
Algorithms for comparative genomics
Genome rearrangement
Ancestral genome reconstruction
Multiple genome alignment
Genome sequence comparison
Modeling genome evolution
Comparative genomics for genome annotation
Gene tree reconciliation
Species and gene tree inference
Comparative metagenomics
Comparative genomics linked to proteomics, metabolomics, and other ~omic data
Comparative genomics and gene expression and regulation
Applications of comparative genomic methods

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recombcg12. Submissions
must be received in electronic form by 11:59pm (Samoa time), June
12th, 2012.

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.

At least one author per each successful submission is required to
register and present the paper at the workshop. The paper will be
included in the conference proceedings, which will be published in BMC
Bioinformatics as open-access author-subsidized articles.

Authors are encouraged to use the BMC document templates when
preparing manuscripts.  Templates are available in Microsoft and LaTeX
formats.
[ Otherwise, submissions should be typeset as double-spaced A4 pages
with at least 1-inch margins all around in a minimum of 10 point font.
]
Submissions should be limited to 16 pages, everything included (title, authors,
addresses, abstract, references, figures, tables).  Exceptions to this
limit may be granted by consultation with the Program Committee
Chairs.  Submissions must include the corresponding author’s email
address.

When preparing your submission please follow the instructions for
authors of BMC supplements:
http://www.uff.br/recombcg/docs/Instructions-for-authors-BMC-Appendix-B.pdf.

Submitted manuscripts must be rendered to PDF format prior to upload
into EasyChair at the review stage.

Address any questions to the program committee chairs: Mathieu
Blanchette (blanchem at mcb.mcgill.ca), Marilia D. V. Braga (mdbraga
at inmetro.gov.br) and Marie-France Sagot (Marie-France.Sagot at
inria.fr).
