Submission Procedures for RECOMB 2004 (August 15 through September 19, 2003)

To submit your extended abstract (paper) to RECOMB 04, send an email message to:

recomb-submissions@cs.ucdavis.edu

Include the title of the paper in the subject line, and include your paper (in pdf or postscript) as an attachment. You will receive a confirmation that the paper was received, at the email address where the your submission was sent. Please be sure you have received a confirmation.

TEXT of the MAIL MESSAGE:

Information is required in the text of the mail message (to facilitate automated processing), even though some of this information is included in your paper.

Provide in the text of the email message the title of the submission, the list of authors, the contact person, and the email address for the contact person. Leave a blank line between each of these.

Next, in the text of the mail message you must include at least one keyphrase list, as described below.

KEYPHRASE LIST(S):

To help organize the papers and to assign reviewers, we ask you to select keyphrases from a standardized list to describe your paper. In the text of the mail message you must include at least one such list. (Even if you have this information in your paper, we need the list in this form for some automated processing).

The first list should be those PRIMARY keyphrases, selected from the standardized list below, that most effectively describe the content of your paper, either in terms of biology or technique. You may select as many keyphrases as you wish, or if none of the standardized keyphrases apply, write the word "none".

The second list (if you wish to include it) should be any SECONDARY keyphrases, selected from the standardized list, that add to the description of your paper, but are not as central as the keyphrases in the primary list.

If you wish to use keyphrases that are not in the standardized list, please list those in an OTHER list. Start the first list with the word PRIMARY, the second list with the word SECONDARY, and the third list with the word OTHER, and write each keyphrase on its own line.

The Standardized Keyphrases for PRIMARY and SECONDARY lists are:

Bayesian Networks
DNA mapping
DNA sequencing
Markov models and/or hidden Markov Models
RNA structure comparison
RNA structure prediction
SNP discovery or use
alternative splicing

combinatorial optimization
comparative genomics

FILE TYPES:

Submissions should be in pdf or postscript.

DEADLINE:

Submissions must be sent by the end of the day, September 19, 2003, using the submitters local time.

IMPORTANT:

Due to a very large expected number of submissions, and out of fairness to authors and reviewers, the submission deadline will be strictly and universally enforced (really!). Please do not ask for extensions or permission to substitute/correct a submission after the deadline.

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION and SIMULTANEOUS SUBMISSIONS:

See the call for papers on the RECOMB website for information on manuscript preparation and the policy on simultaneous submissions.
