Dear All, Note that the deadline for abstract submission of the 'Regulatory Genomics Special Interest Group – RegGenSIG' satellite meeting of ISMB is fastly approaching (April 27 for oral presentations and May 18 for poster presentations). RegGenSIG 2012 will include presentations and posters that cover the broad spectrum of topics important to regulatory genomics research, and a joint panel discussion with the Alternative Splicing SIG. RegGenSIG will 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. If you would still consider submitting an abstract please consult http://www.iscb.org/ismb2012-program/ismb2012-satellitemeetings#regulatory Looking forward seeing you at ISMB 2012 Best Regards, Finn Drabløs, Norwegian Univ. of Science and Technology, Norway Kathleen Marchal, Univ Ghent/K.U.
