Tenth Annual RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Comparative Genomics - Niterói, Brazil - Call for paper
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.


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unpublished work.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
