From recomb-cg at engr.uconn.edu Fri Jun 6 22:23:39 2008 From: recomb-cg at engr.uconn.edu (RECOM-CG 08) Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 22:23:39 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Microsatellite-suite] RECOMB-CG 6th Annual RECOMB Satellite Meeting on Comparative Genomics Message-ID: Dear Colleague, 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) ============================================================== RECOMB-CG, 2008 October 13-15, 2008 Ecole Normale Sup?rieure, Paris, France http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/RCG08 CONFIRMED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Olga Troyanskaya (Princeton University) Aviv Regev (Broad Institute) Trisha Wittkop (University of Michigan) Chris Ponting (University of Oxford) Laurent Duret (Universit? Claude Bernard) KEY DATES Paper submission deadline June 18, 2008 Notification of paper acceptance July 14, 2008 Final manuscript due July 24, 2008 Poster submission deadline September 22, 2008 Workshop October 13-15, 2008 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 Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work.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 CONFERENCE CHAIRS Craig E.
