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.

New for 2011, all peer-reviewed and accepted RECOMB-CG manuscripts will be published in a supplement to BMC Bioinformatics as open access, author subsidized, articles.
