Subject: 06.04.02 10th Annual Int Conf on Research in Computational Molecular Biology, Venice, Italy
Tenth Annual International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology RECOMB - Research in Computational Molecular Biology Venice, Italy April 2-5, 2006 http://recomb06.dei.unipd.it/ Welcome to the Tenth Annual International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology! RECOMB - Research in Computational Molecular Biology is a well established conference in a dynamic field of science bridging computer science and biology. In 2006 the conference will be held in Venice, Italy and promises to be the biggest and best yet with over 700 attendees expected. The meeting consists of keynotes from renowned personalities in the field and the latest research findings with presentations of contributed papers and posters. The first Technical Session begins at 8:30am on Sunday, April 2. The last Technical Session ends at 4:30pm on Wednesday, April 5. The RECOMB Conference series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for theoretical advances in computational biology and their applications in molecular biology and medicine. The conference series aims at attracting research contributions in all areas of computational molecular biology. Typical, but not exclusive, the topics of interest are: * Genomics * Molecular sequence analysis * Recognition of genes and regulatory elements * Molecular evolution * Protein structure * Structural genomics * Gene Expression * Gene Networks * Drug Design * Combinatorial libraries * Computational proteomics * Structural and functional genomics The origins of the conference came from the mathematical and computational side of the field, and there remains to be a certain focus on computational advances. However, the effective use of computational t echniques to biological innovation is also an important aspect of the conference. The conference had a growing number of attendees, topping 600 in recent years. We are preparing for up to 700 participants in 2006. The conference program includes between 30 and 40 contributed papers, that are selected by an international program committee with around 30 experts during a rigorous review process rivaling the editorial procedure for top-rate scientific journals. In previous years paper selection has been made from up to 130 submissions from well over a dozen countries. A further point in the program is a lively poster session. Around 200 posters were presented at RECOMB 2005.NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
