16th Annual Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2012)

Date:

21 Apr 2012 to 24 Apr 2012

Location:

Barcelona, Spain

RECOMB 2012 will take place in vibrant and beautiful Barcelona from 21 to 24 April 2012. There will be a strong focus on the computational challenges arising from the extraordinary developments in high throughput technologies. Participants will enjoy a full agenda of keynote talks, paper presentations, and poster sessions, with ample opportunities to get a sample some of the city life of Barcelona. The meeting also overlaps with Sant Jordi (Saint George), on April 23, the patron of Catalonia, and one of the most important civic holidays in the country.

RECOMB is a well-established scientific conference bridging the computational, mathematical, and biological sciences. The conference features keynote talks by preeminent scientists in the life sciences, together with presentations of refereed research papers in computational biology.

The conference series aims at attracting research contributions in all areas of computational molecular biology, including: molecular sequence analysis; recognition of genes and regulatory elements; molecular evolution; protein structure; structural genomics; analysis of gene expression; biological networks; sequencing and genotyping technologies; drug design; probabilistic and combinatorial algorithms; systems biology; computational proteomics; structural and functional genomics; information systems for computational biology and imaging.

The origins of the conference are in the mathematical and computational side of the field, and there remains a certain focus on computational advances. However, the effective application of computational techniques to achieve biological innovation remains a central aspect of the conference.
