RECOMB-SEQ: THIRD ANNUAL RECOMB SATELLITE WORKSHOP ON MASSIVELY PARALLEL SEQUENCING
April 11-12, 2013, Beijing, China

Call-for-Posters

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 Genome 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 poster contributions describing new methods and tools 
for
dealing with all aspects of massively parallel sequencing data as well as their
applications in biology and medicine, including, but not limited to:

     Biomedical 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

Poster Submission
-----------------
Please submit a one-page abstract (about 200 words, plain justified text in
10pt character size, formatted to fit A4: 21 x 29.7 cm) of your poster,
including title, author(s), affiliation, e-mail, and abstract text, at the
easychair site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recombseq2013
The actual poster space will be 90 x 120 cm (width x height), which corresponds
to A0 format (or 16 pages in A4 format). The accepted poster abstracts will be
published in the conference book of abstracts. Simultaneous submissions of
the same poster to both RECOMB'2013 and RECOMB-Seq'2013 are permitted.

Important Dates

Poster submission opens: Jan. 18, 2013
Poster submission deadline: Feb. 18, 2013
Author notification: Feb. 25, 2013
Workshop: April 11-12, 2013
