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. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: Gene and genome duplication Gene family evolution Genome structural variation Algorithms for comparative genomics Genome rearrangement Ancestral genome reconstruction Multiple genome alignment Genome sequence comparison Modeling genome evolution Comparative genomics for genome annotation Gene tree reconciliation Species and gene tree inference Comparative metagenomics Comparative genomics linked to proteomics, metabolomics, and other ’omic data Comparative genomics and gene expression and regulation Applications of comparative genomic methods CALL FOR PAPERS Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair system. Submissions must be received in electronic form by 11:59pm (Samoa time), June 3rd, 2011. Submissions should be typeset as double-spaced A4 pages with 1-inch margins all around in a minimum of 10 point font. Submissions should be limited to 16 pages, everything included (title, authors, addresses, abstract, references, figures, tables). Exceptions to this limit may be granted by consultation with the Program Committee Chairs. Authors are encouraged to use the BMC document templates when preparing manuscripts. Templates are available in Microsoft and LaTeX formats. Submitted manuscripts must be rendered to PDF format prior to upload into EasyChair at the review stage. Submissions 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 Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work.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. At least one author per each successful submission is required to register and present the paper at the workshop. The paper will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be published in BMC Bioinformatics. Address any questions to the program committee chairs: Aaron E. Darling (aarondarling at ucdavis.edu) and Cathal Seoighe (cathal.seoighe at nuigalway.ie) CONFERENCE CHAIR Cathal Seoighe (National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland) PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIRS Aaron E.
