Submission Deadline Approaching: RECOMB Satellite Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges
Dear ISCB Members
and Colleagues,
The deadline for submissions for the 5th annual joint
RECOMB Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges, is
just two weeks away. We invite you to participate by submitting a paper or
abstract.
For more information, visit:
http://recomb-2012.c2b2.columbia.edu/.
The 5th annual joint RECOMB
Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics, with DREAM Challenges is one of
the premier annual meetings for computational and experimental scientists in the
fields of regulatory genomics and systems biology, and is now an official
conference of the International Society for Computational Biology. The meeting
will be held at the Hotel Sofitel San Francisco Bay on November 12-15, 2012.
All submissions of full-length papers will be considered for publication in
Genome Research and the Journal of Computational Biology. Accepted papers will
be published in conjunction with the conference and authors of selected papers
will present their work at the meeting. Our program committee will review all
submitted papers in collaboration with the journal editors and the conference
chairs.
We are also accepting submissions of abstracts, including both
original unpublished work and work that has been published or accepted for
publication by a high-impact journal between January 1 and November 1, 2012.
Unpublished work will be considered for either an oral or a poster presentation.
Work already accepted for publication will be considered for an oral
presentation only.
***The deadline for all submissions is September 7, 2012 ***
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. Areas of interest for
papers, abstracts, and nominations 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
We are also still accepting submissions for participation in the DREAM
Challenges, designed to identify the best practices for predicting the structure
of biological networks. Lastly, we are also still inviting nominations for
RegGen-TopTen 2011, our list of the most influential papers of 2011 in the
fields of Regulatory and Systems Genomics, in conjunction with the ISMB Special
Interest Group on Regulatory Genomics (RegGen SIG). See our website above for
more information.
We are looking forward to very exciting program. Our
invited speakers include Howard Chang, Job Dekker, Angela DePace, Joe Ecker,
Yoav Gilad, Len Pennacchio, Saurabh Sinha, Stephen Friend, Jonathan Weissman,
Dean Felsher, Michael Elowitz, Joe Nadeau, Markus Covert, Joe Gray, and Ernest
Fraenkel.
We hope that you will participate and look forward to seeing
you in San Francisco this November!
Best regards,
Andrea Califano,
Manolis Kellis, Sylvia Plevritis, and Gustavo Stolovitzky
