include, but are not limited to: genome evolution, genome rearrangements, genomic variation, diversity and dynamics, computational pangenomics, gene identification and annotation, methods for genome assembly, cancer evolutionary genomics, comparative epigenomics,
population genomics, pangenomics, phylogenomics and phylodynamics, paleogenomics, epidemiology and related areas, metagenomics, machine learning in genomics. We encourage submissions that offer new biological findings or otherwise highlight their relevance
to biology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to transfer your reviews. In that case, please submit by the regular deadline and 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. Note that authors of papers rejected by RECOMB
2023 may also submit their paper without transferring their reviews, if they wish to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
