RECOMB 2021 - 25th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) 2021

The RECOMB conference series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for advances in computational biology and applications in molecular biology and medicine. The conference aims at bridging the computational, mathematical, statistical, and biological sciences, and bringing together researchers, professionals, students and industrial practitioners from all over the world for interaction and exchange of new developments in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology. The conference will feature keynote talks by leading scientists, presentations of peer- reviewed high-quality research papers, presentations of exciting research developments that were published within the past year and poster sessions on latest research progress.
Papers reporting on original research (both theoretical and experimental) with an algorithmic focus in all areas of computational molecular biology are sought. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
​
Molecular sequence analysis
Sequencing and genotyping technologies
Regulation and epigenomics
Transcriptomics, including single-cell
Metagenomics
Population and statistical genetics
Evolutionary, compressive and comparative genomics
Structure and function of non-coding RNAs
Computational proteomics and proteogenomics
Protein structure and function
Biological networks
Computational systems biology
Privacy of biomedical data
Bioimaging
​
Submissions should represent original, previously unpublished work. The Program Committee will rigorously review submitted extended abstracts (approximately 10 pages). 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. Authors who prefer not to publish their papers in the LNBI proceedings, must submit a final two-page extended abstract for inclusion in the Springer LNBI proceedings in lieu of the full paper and must submit the full paper to the preprint server arxiv.org or bioRxiv.org by the deadline of the camera ready version to ensure that the presented paper is accessible. RECOMB is partnering with Cell Systems and the Journal of Computational Biology. Authors of selected accepted papers will be invited, but not required, to submit an edited journal version for a special issue of Cell Systems (as detailed below). Authors can alternatively choose to submit extended versions of accepted proceedings papers to the Journal of Computational Biology or to pursue the Parallel Submission option, detailed below, to submit their work to an alternative journal of their choosing in parallel with RECOMB submission.
