CALL FOR PAPERS

The 16th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2012) will be held in Barcelona on April 21-24, 2012. RECOMB 2012 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and computational biology. As a multidisciplinary conference, it brings together academic and industrial scientists from molecular biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. Papers reporting on original research (both theoretical and experimental) in all areas of computational molecular biology are sought. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Molecular sequence analysis
  • Recognition of genes and regulatory elements
  • Molecular evolution
  • Gene expression 
  • Biological networks
  • Sequencing and genotyping technologies
  • Genomics 
  • Metagenomics
  • Population, statistical genetics
  • Systems biology
  • Imaging
  • Computational proteomics
  • Molecular structural biology

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work.  The Program Committee will rigorously review submitted abstracts. Selected papers will be accepted for presentation at the conference. Accepted abstracts will be published as a proceedings volume in the Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series from Springer-Verlag, which will be available at the conference. RECOMB is partnering with the Journal of Computational Biology. Select accepted papers will be invited, but not required, to submit an edited journal version for a special issue of JCB. Finally, RECOMB will also have a highlights.html track featuring presentations of exciting recent developments that have already appeared in journals within the past year. 

 

Parallel Submission:

Parallel submission to RECOMB and to a journal is allowed. Authors who wish to publish the edited manuscript elsewhere must clearly indicate this at the time of submission to RECOMB, and submit a complete manuscript for review. If accepted for oral presentation at RECOMB, they will submit a final two-page extended abstract for inclusion in the LNBI proceedings in lieu of the full paper.

 

Manuscript preparation:

The cover page should contain the title, author(s) names and affiliations, an abstract, the keywords, and the contact author e-mail. If this is or is going to be a parallel submission, the words "parallel submission" should appear at the bottom of the page.

The manuscript should start with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance, and a comparison with previous work. This material should be understandable to non-specialists. A technical exposition directed to the specialist should follow. The length, excluding cover page and bibliography, should not exceed 10 pages. The manuscript should be easy to read, using at least 11 point font size on U.S. standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper with no less than one inch margin all around. To assist in the refereeing process, a short list of one to three topics (preferably, but not limited to the list above) should appear at the bottom of the front page. If the authors believe that more details are absolutely necessary to substantiate the claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix, which might be read at the discretion of the reviewers.

Manuscripts that deviate significantly from these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. 

Manuscripts can be submitted through: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recomb2012

For submissions published in the RECOMB proceedings volume, detailed formatting instructions are at the Springer-Verlag site, under "Information for LNCS Authors," at: http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0.

 

Paper submission procedures and notification:

Submission of papers to RECOMB2012 will be through the EasyChair conference system, following the link from the conference web page. The submission system will be open starting September 13th, 2011 and ending October 28th, 2011. For full details, please see the submissions link at the conference website.

The Program Committee, chaired by Benny Chor (Tel-Aviv /university), will referee the conference submissions. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by email on or before December 19th, 2011. We request that an author of each accepted paper provides LaTeX files or an MS Word file in the special format for Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics by January 20, 2012.

An author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the conference and present the paper; otherwise, alternative arrangements should be made to have the paper presented.
