The conference will address several of the current challenges in computational biology by investigating algorithms aimed at: 1) assembling sequence reads into a complete genome, 2) identifying gene structures in the genome, 3) recognizing regulatory motifs, 4) aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes, 5) reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and 6) inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species. Particular focus will be put on methodology and significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career. VENUE: AlCoB 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of Barcelona. The venue will be the Catalunya Campus. SCOPE: Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to: Exact sequence analysis Approximate sequence analysis Pairwise sequence alignment Multiple sequence alignment Sequence assembly Genome rearrangement Regulatory motif finding Phylogeny reconstruction Phylogeny comparison Structure prediction Compressive genomics Proteomics: molecular pathways, interaction networks ... Transcriptomics: splicing variants, isoform inference and quantification, differential analysis =85 Next-generation sequencing: population genomics, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics ... Microbiome analysis Systems biology STRUCTURE: AlCoB 2014 will consist of: invited talks invited tutorials peer-reviewed contributions INVITED SPEAKERS: Michael Galperin (National Center for Biotechnology Information, Bethesda), Comparative Genomics Approaches to Identifying Functionally Related Genes Uwe Ohler (Max-Delbr=FCck Centre for Molecular Medicine, Berlin), Decoding Non-coding Regulatory Regions in DNA and RNA (tutorial) Jason Papin (University of Virginia, Charlottesville), Network Analysis of Microbial Pathogens PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: Tatsuya Akutsu (Kyoto, JP) Amihood Amir (Ramat-Gan, IL) Alberto Apostolico (Atlanta, US) Joel Bader (Baltimore, US) Pierre Baldi (Irvine, US) Serafim Batzoglou (Stanford, US) Bonnie Berger (Cambridge, US) Francis Y.L.
