[BBC] Fwd: Call for abstracts: Regulatory Genomics Special Interest Group (RegGenSIG)

[Stein Aerts]

FYI: http://light.ece.ohio.edu/~reggen/2014/

Best regards,
Stein 


Regulatory Genomics Special Interest Group (RegGenSIG)
Special Interest Group (SIG) at ISMB 2014 
July 12, 2014, Boston, Massachusetts 
SIG Hours: 8:30 a.m - 6:00 p.m.


Regulatory genomics involves the study of the genomic 'control system,' which determines how, when and where to activate the 'blueprint' encoded in the genome. Regulatory genomics is the topic of much research activity worldwide. Since computational methods are important in the study of gene regulation, the RegGenSIG meeting focuses on bioinformatics for regulatory genomics. An important goal of the meeting is to foster a collaborative community wherein scientists convene to solve difficult research problems in all areas of computational regulatory genomics. 

RegGenSIG will include presentations and posters that cover the broad spectrum of topics important to regulatory genomics research. The goal is to bring together experts in experimental methods and computational methods to consider sequence-based reconstruction of regulatory networks and prediction of gene expression. Topics to be addressed in the SIG include the following:

inference of gene regulatory networks;
utilization of information pertaining to epigenetics, chromatin structure, and histone modifications;
determination of the roles of regulatory RNAs;
prediction of transcriptional regulation from RNA-seq data and ChIP-seq data;
pattern discovery in sequences; and
sequence based modeling of gene expression.

CALL FOR EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

To make an oral presentation at RegGenSIG, extended abstracts should be submitted by April 27, 2014 to sinhas at illinois.edu, including "RegGen Abstract Oral" in the subject line. An abstract should be a maximum of 3 pages excluding bibliography. Authors will be notified by May 8, 2014.

CALL FOR POSTERS

For poster presentations, authors should submit a 250 word abstract no later than May 18, 2014 to sinhas at illinois.edu, including "RegGen Abstract Poster" in the subject line. Authors will be notified no later than May 25, 2014.
