| Tenth Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics October 17-19, 2012, Niterói, Brazil Website: www.uff.br/recombcg Contributions to the workshop are welcomed on any theoretical and/or empirical approach to genome-wide comparison. This includes 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. We encourage paper submissions that offer new biological findings or otherwise highlight their relevance to biology. Refereed papers will be published as open-access manuscripts in the journal BMC Bioinformatics. -------- KEY DATES Paper submission deadline June 12, 2012 Acceptance notification July 03, 2012 Workshop October 17-19, 2012 - Niterói, Brazil -------- CONFIRMED KEYNOTE SPEAKERS - E. Virginia Armbrust (University of Washington, USA) - Mariangela Hungria da Cunha (Embrapa, Brazil) - J. Peter Gogarten (University of Connecticut, USA) - Dario Grattapaglia (Embrapa, Brazil) - J. Chris Pires (University of Missouri, USA) -------- THEME AND SCOPE 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. 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 rearrangements . 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: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recombcg12. Submissions must be received in electronic form by 11:59pm (Samoa time), June 12th, 2012. 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 as open-access author-subsidized articles. Authors are encouraged to use the BMC document templates when preparing manuscripts. Templates are available in Microsoft and LaTeX formats. Otherwise, submissions should be typeset as double-spaced A4 pages with at least 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. Submissions must include the corresponding author’s email address. When preparing your submission please follow the instructions for authors of BMC supplements: http://www.uff.br/recombcg/docs/Instructions-for-authors-BMC-Appendix-B.pdf. Submitted manuscripts must be rendered to PDF format prior to upload into EasyChair at the review stage. Address any questions to the program committee chairs: Mathieu Blanchette (blanchem at mcb.mcgill.ca), Marilia D. V. Braga (mdbraga at inmetro.gov.br) and Marie-France Sagot (Marie-France.Sagot at inria.fr). -------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Chairs: Mathieu Blanchette (McGill University, Montréal, Canada) Marilia D. V.
