[BiO BB] RECOMB-CG 2008 Call for Posters and Registration

[RECOM-CG 08]

CALL FOR POSTERS AND REGISTRATION

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

Sixth Annual RECOMB Satellite Meeting on Comparative Genomics

October 13-15, 2008

Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France

http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/RCG08


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


CALL FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS

We invite you  to apply for poster presentations on topics of
relevance to the workshop. Each poster presentation should be
described in a 1 page summary and be submitted by September 22, 2008
via the Easychair submission system:
