RECOMB CG: Comparative Genomics
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.
The RECOMB CG workshop in Galway 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. >> Program
Conference Contributions
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.
Accepted talks will be published as a supplement by BMC Bioinformatics. >> Submit
Conference Venue: Galway Bay Hotel, Salthill, Galway
The RECOMB CG workshop will be held in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland about 2 hours easy drive from Dublin and with air links via Dublin, Shannon and Galway.
Galway is a picturesque and friendly city in the west of Ireland, and the gateway to the renowned scenery and culture of Connemara. >> Travel and Accommodation
