RECOMB/ISCB Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges

CALL FOR PAPERS, ABSTRACTS AND PARTICIPATION IN THE DREAM CHALLENGES

The Sixth Annual RECOMB/ISCB Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics is now accepting submissions of papers, abstracts, and responses to the DREAM Challenges for the upcoming conference on November 8 – 12, 2013 to be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

SUBMISSIONS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

This conference is designed to present the latest findings about regulatory and systems genomics, foster discussion about current research directions, and establish new collaborations that will advance the development of a systems-level understanding of gene regulation. Some possible topics include:

• Modeling and recognition of regulatory motifs and modules
• Chromatin state establishment, maintenance, and role in development
• Post-transcriptional regulation and small regulatory RNAs
• Regulatory networks, metabolic networks, proteomic networks
• Cellular signatures of biological responses and disease states
• Phosphorylation, metabolic fluxes, systematic phenotyping
• Mathematical modeling and simulation of biological systems
• Methods for systematic validation of high-throughput biological predictions
• Approaches for aggregation of results arising from different methodologies
• Translational systems biology

Full-length papers
 
We invite full-length papers focusing either on research or theory. Selected papers for presentation in the conference will benefit from fast-track co-submission to Genome Research, G3: Genes / Genomes / Genetics and the Journal of Computational Biology. Learn more about submitting a paper here.

RECOMB/ISCB Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The RECOMB/ISCB Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges is one of the premier annual meetings for computational and experimental scientists in the areas of regulatory genomics and systems biology. The conference will be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, November 8 - 12, 2013.

As in the past, the conference combines the following areas:

• Regulatory Genomics

• Systems Biology

• DREAM reverse engineering challenges

The conference will present the latest findings about regulatory and systems genomics, foster discussion about current research directions, and establish new collaborations that will advance the development of a systems-level understanding of gene regulation. It will feature keynote presentations, oral presentations, and poster presentations.

Possible topics to be discussed include:

• Modeling and recognition of regulatory motifs and modules

• Chromatin state establishment, maintenance, and role in development

• Post-transcriptional regulation and small regulatory RNAs

• Regulatory networks, metabolic networks, proteomic networks

• Cellular signatures of biological responses and disease states

• Phosphorylation, metabolic fluxes, systematic phenotyping
