The recent progress in sequencing technologies has opened the door to answering biological questions unimaginable a decade ago and as a result has revolutionized computational biology. The true potential of these technologies can be materialized only through advanced computational method development for analyzing these diverse high-throughput sequencing data. This workshop brings together leading researchers in computational genomics and genomic biology to discuss emerging frontiers in algorithm development for massively parallel sequencing data. The emphasis of all contributed work will be on applying statistical and algorithmic approaches to improve sequence data management, analysis, and interpretation.
We solicit contributions in four different categories as follows:
Manuscripts describing original work on computational aspects of genomic research involving massively parallel sequencing.
Highlights Track abstracts. 1-2 pages describing computational aspects of work that has been published in a journal after May 1, 2016, or papers that are in press at the time of submission and are already linked on the journal website. This track is joint with the main RECOMB conference.
Abstracts for short talks. 1-2 pages describing original work, including software applications. These will be considered for short presentations as well as for posters.
Posters.
(include but not limited to)
Manuscripts should be no more than 10 single-spaced US letter or A4 pages with at most a 6.5x9" text area in at least 11 point font. Title and authors, corresponding author's email address, 100-250 word abstract, references, figures, and tables all included. An optional short appendix may contain details or additional data to be consulted at the discretion of the program committee. Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in PDF format via the EasyChair system.
Manuscripts submitted for review should represent original, previously unpublished work. At the time of submission to the workshop, and for the entire review period, the work should not be under review by any other conference or scientific journal.
The submission system will be open starting January 3rd, 2017 and ending February 3rd, 2017 February 5th, 2017. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by email on or before February 26th, 2017. An author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the workshop and present the paper; otherwise, alternative arrangements should be made to have the paper presented.
The Seventh RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Massively Parallel Sequencing (RECOMB-Seq) is continuing its successful partnership with Bioinformatics. Selected papers accepted for the workshop will be considered for a special track publication in the journal Bioinformatics.
Bioinformatics is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research and software in computational biology. The journal was established as Computer Applications in the Biosciences (CABIOS) in 1985. In 1998, the journal obtained its current name. Bioinformatics is published by Oxford University Press, and as of 2016, the editors-in-chief are Alfonso Valencia and Janet Kelso.
If you would like to consider submitting a paper rejected by RECOMB 2017 to the satellite workshop, you may do so by the regular deadline of February 3rd February 5th. You must include in your submission a Cover Letter that includes the reviews received from RECOMB together with a rebuttal addressing the concerns raised by the reviewers. The submitted manuscript should also be modified according to the reviews, or provide an explanation of why modifications are unnecessary. All reviews will be treated confidentially and will only be visible to the PC members evaluating your paper.
