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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATES: - Registration is open https://igm.univ-mlv.fr/RCG08/?lang=en&cat=registration - The list of accepted papers is available here http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/RCG08/?lang=en&cat=program --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sixth Annual RECOMB Satellite Meeting on Comparative Genomics October 13-15, 2008 Ecole Normale Sup?rieure, 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: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recombcg08 PROGRAM The lists of invited speakers and accepted papers are available here https://igm.univ-mlv.fr/RCG08/?lang=en&cat=program KEY DATES June 18, 2008 Paper submission deadline July 14, 2008 Notification of paper acceptance July 24, 2008 Final manuscript due Early registration is through September 15, 2008 Late registration will begin September 16, 2008 September 22, 2008 Poster submission deadline October 13-15, 2008 Workshop INVITED SPEAKERS Olga Troyanskaya (Princeton University) Aviv Regev (Broad Institute) Trisha Wittkop (University of Michigan) Chris Ponting (University of Oxford) Laurent Duret (Universit?
