Description |
|
| Comparison of related genomes offers enormous inferential power, revealing a wealth of knowledge about genome evolution itself and about genetic function and cellular processes. As the number of fully sequenced genomes grows, so do the opportunities and challenges for computational comparative genomics. This workshop brings together leading researchers in the mathematical, computational and life sciences to discuss cutting edge research in comparative genomics, with an emphasis on computational approaches and novel experimental results. The program will include both invited speakers and contributed talks. KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Brenda J. Andrews (University of Toronto) Nicolas Corradi (University of British Columbia) Jan Dvorak (University of California at Davis) Aoife McLysaght (University of Dublin) Nicholas Putnam (Rice University) Contributions to this computationally-oriented workshop are welcomed on any theoretical and/or empirical approach to genome-wide comparison such as genome evolution, algorithms for genome rearrangement, comparative tools for assembly, gene identification or annotation, comparison of functional networks, genomic variation in humans and model organisms, cancer genomics, duplication patterns of genes, segments and whole genomes, and comparative epigenetics. To compete for a place in the program, papers should be submitted electronically at https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=recombcg10 in order to be rated by a distinguished program committee. The workshop will be held on the campus of the University of Ottawa beside the downtown area. Ottawa is served by direct flights from New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, Detroit, London, Frankfurt and many Canadian cities. The dates of the workshop coincide with the three-day Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, around the peak time for autumn foliage colour.

Submissions must be received in electronic form by 11:59pm (any time zone), June 7, 2010. Submissions should be no longer than 12 single-spaced 8.5"x 11" 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 in LaTeX 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. Successful submissions will be invited for an oral presentation, and the paper will be printed in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics" series. REGISTRATION and ACCOMMODATION Registration and accommodation information will be available soon on the conference website. |
