Papers reporting on original research (both theoretical and experimental) in all areas of computational molecular biology are sought, including surveys of important recent results/directions. Typical but not exclusive topics of interest include: - Genomics - Molecular sequence analysis - Recognition of genes and regulatory elements - Molecular evolution - Protein structure - Combinatorial libraries and drug design ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: Authors are requested to send 10 copies (preferably two sided copies) of a detailed extended abstract (5-10 pages) to: Professor Pavel Pevzner RECOMB 98 Program Chair University of Southern California Department of Mathematics, DRB 155 Los Angeles, CA 90089-1113 An abstract must be received by October 20, 1997. This is a firm deadline. Simultaneous submission to another conference or journal is allowed. CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS: The extended abstracts for the Conference will be published by ACM Press and will be available at the Conference. A selection of the accepted extended abstracts in their final journal versions will be invited to appear in a special issue of the Journal of Computational Biology devoted to RECOMB 98. NOTIFICATION: The conference submissions will be refereed by the program committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by a letter mailed on or before December 15, 1997. A final copy of each accepted paper is required by January 10, 1997. An author of each accepted paper is expected to attend the Symposium and present the paper; otherwise alternative arrangements should be made to have the paper presented. ABSTRACT PREPARATION: An abstract should start with a succinct statement of the problem, the results achieved, their significance and a comparison with previous work. This material should be understandable to nonspecialists. A technical exposition directed to the specialist should follow. The length, excluding cover page and bibliography, should not exceed 10 pages. The manuscript should be easy to read, preferably using 11 point font size on U.S. standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. If authors believe that more details are necessary to substantiate the claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix. An E-mail address for the contact author should be included. Conference Events RECOMB 98 will feature 8 invited lectures (to be announced later) by prominent biologists including the following conference events: THE STANISLAW ULAM MEMORIAL COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY ADDRESS. The Stanislaw Ulam Memorial Lecture awarded by RECOMB to a scientist who has made major contributions in the computational aspects of the field. THE DISTINGUISHED CONFERENCE LECTURE. The conference will start with the Distinguished Conference Lecture awarded by RECOMB to a scientist who has made major contributions in the biological aspects of the field. THE DISTINGUISHED NEW TECHNOLOGIES LECTURE. A lecture describing emerging, new technologies. BEST PAPER BY A YOUNG SCIENTIST AWARD. This award will be given to the best paper written solely by one or more recent graduates or students. An abstract is eligible if all authors are recent graduates (within 2 years from Ph.D.) or full-time students at the time of submission. This should be indicated in the submission letter. The program committee may decline to make the award or may split it among several papers.
