RECOMB-seq: Second Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Massively
Parallel Sequencing
April 19-20, 2012
Barcelona, Spain
http://recomb2012.crg.eu/satellite
*** About the workshop ***
RECOMB-seq is a workshop held two days prior to the main RECOMB
conference, with a distinct paper submission process and program. Our
goal is to bring together the community of scientists working on methods
for massively parallel sequencing.
*** Scope ***
The recent revolution in sequencing technology has opened the door for
myriads of new applications and bio-medical discoveries. Projects are
under way to sequence thousands of individuals (the 1000 genomes
project), tens of thousands of vertebrate species (the Genome10K
project), and the whole microbial ecosystem that live in our bodies (the
Human Microbiome project). Simultaneously, the novelty and complexity of
the data has highlighted the challenges and limitations of current
methods. As the technology continues to evolve and approaches its third
generation, the challenges facing the community are becoming
increasingly computational.
We would like to invite contributions describing new methodology to deal
with all aspects of massively parallel sequencing data, including, but
not limited to,
* Bio-medical applications, including cancer genomics
* Discovery and genotyping of genomic variants; including SNPs, indels, and structural variants
* Local and de novo sequence assembly
* RNA sequencing, including the analysis of RNA expression and novel transcript assembly
* Epigenetics, including ChIP-SEQ analysis, methylation profiling, and histone modifications
* Metagenomics
* Read mapping
* Methods for emerging sequencing technologies, such as single-cell or single molecule real time sequencing
*** Paper submission ***
We are soliciting high-quality contributions that will go through a
rigorous peer-review process. Selected papers will be presented at the workshop and published in a
special proceedings issue of BMC Bioinformatics. You may also specify
that you do not wish your paper to be published in the proceedings, if
accepted. In this case, you will be asked to provide a one-page abstract
to be included in the conference program booklet.
The cover page should contain the title, author(s) names and
affiliations, an abstract, the keywords, and the contact author e-mail.
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. 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.
