AlCoB 2020: 1st call for papers *To be removed from our mailing list, 
please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line*

**********************************************************************************
*7th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ALGORITHMS FOR COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY*

*AlCoB 2020*

*Missoula, Montana, USA*

*April 13-15, 2020*

Co-organized by:

Department of Computer Science
University of Montana

and

Institute for Research Development, Training and Advice, Brussels/London

https://alcob2020.irdta.eu
**********************************************************************************

*AIMS:*

AlCoB aims at promoting and displaying excellent research using string 
and graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization to deal with 
problems in biological sequence analysis, genome rearrangement, 
phylogeny reconstruction, and structure prediction.

Previous events were held in Tarragona, Mexico City, Trujillo (Spain), 
Aveiro, Hong Kong and Berkeley.

The conference will address several of the current challenges in 
computational biology, with topics including:

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.

Special focus will be put on methodology and significant room will be 
reserved for scholars at the beginning of their career.

*VENUE:*

AlCoB 2020 will take place in Missoula, Montana, a college town located 
in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, near Glacier National Park and 
Yellowstone National Park. The meeting will be hosted in the University 
Center, a few hundred feet from the base of Mount Sentinel.

*SCOPE:*

Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not 
limited to:

Sequence analysis
Sequence alignment
Sequence assembly
Genome rearrangement
Regulatory motif finding
Phylogeny reconstruction
Phylogeny comparison
Structure prediction
Compressive genomics
Proteomics: molecular pathways, interaction networks, mass spectrometry 
analysis
Transcriptomics: splicing variants, isoform inference and 
quantification, differential analysis
Next-generation sequencing: population genomics, metagenomics, 
metatranscriptomics, epigenomics
Genome CD architecture
Microbiome analysis
Cancer computational biology
Systems biology

*STRUCTURE:*

AlCoB 2020 will consist of:

invited lectures
peer-reviewed contributions
posters
