Research Topics

Papers reporting on original research (both theoretical and experimental) in all areas of computational molecular biology are sought.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Molecular sequence analysis
• Sequencing and genotyping technologies
• Gene regulation and epigenomics
• Transcriptomics, including single-cell Metagenomics
• Population and statistical genetics
• Evolution and comparative genomics
• Structure and function of non-coding RNAs
• Computational proteomics and proteogenomics
• Computational structural biology
• Protein structure and function Biological networks
• Computational systems biology
• Privacy of biomedical data
• Bioimaging

Submission Guidelines

Submissions should represent original, previously unpublished work. The Program Committee will rigorously review submitted extended abstracts. Selected papers will be accepted for presentation at the conference. Accepted abstracts will be published as a proceedings volume in the Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI) series from Springer-Verlag, which will be available at the conference. Authors who prefer not to publish their papers in the LNBI proceedings, must submit a final two-page extended abstract for inclusion in the Springer LNBI proceedings in lieu of the full paper and must submit the full paper to the preprint server arxiv.org or bioRxiv.org by the deadline of the camera-ready version to ensure that the presented paper is accessible.

Journal publication: RECOMB is partnering with Cell Systems (see details below), iScience (a new Cell Press journal), as well as Journal of Computational Biology. Authors of selected accepted papers will be invited, but not required, to submit an edited journal version for a special issue of the partnering journal. The journals will require some expansion of the proceedings paper. Submissions to a preprint server are allowed without restrictions. Submissions to peer-reviewed journals other than the partnering ones are allowed, but double-dipping is not, so authors of a manuscript that is submitted elsewhere in parallel or intended to be submitted in parallel, are required to withdraw that manuscript from the full publication in the proceedings immediately after acceptance, and opt for the two-page option, along with the mandatory preprint server submission.

Page limits: Extended abstracts are restricted to 10 Letter pages, including all figures/tables and their captions, not including a title page nor the bibliography, in 10pt font or bigger with 1″ margins. Appendixes that exceed that page limit are discouraged and reviewers are EXPECTED to disregard them.

Journal Partnership: Cell Systems, Journal of Computational Biology

All submissions to RECOMB will be considered for the Cell Systems RECOMB special issue. The authors will be notified of whether their paper is accepted for oral presentation at RECOMB and simultaneously whether it is being considered for expedited review by Cell Systems on December 17, 2021. The goal is for a quarter of the accepted RECOMB papers to be sent for expedited consideration at Cell Systems. In addition to the RECOMB reviewers, the Editors of Cell Systems, as well as potentially 1-2 additional reviewers with particular knowledge of the biological applications addressed, will be actively engaged in those accepted RECOMB papers being considered for Cell Systems. In addition, all accepted RECOMB 2022 papers will be invited to publish a *260-word format summary*, to appear in Cell Systems as a Commentary publication, continuing a successful pilot project from previous RECOMB years.

Separately, all submissions not published elsewhere will be offered publication in a special issue of the Journal of Computational Biology.

RECOMB 2022, LA JOLLA, CA, USA, MAY 22-25, 2022
