The deadline for abstract submissions is on Friday Sept 10 at midnight. Many many thanks!! Manolis Manolis Kellis - manoli at mit.edu - http://mit.edu/manoli Associate Professor, MIT EECS, CSAIL, Broad Institute -------- Subject: RECOMB Regulatory Genomics, Systems Biology, and DREAM5 2010 abstract deadline Sept 10 Dear colleagues, We wanted to remind you that the deadline for abstract submissions, and the discounted early registration deadline, for RECOMB Regulatory Genomics / Systems Biology / DREAM5 is in a few days, on Friday Sept 10 at 11:59pm US Eastern Time (extended from the original Monday deadline due to the US Labor Day Holiday). We are excited by the many registrations and abstract submissions already, and hope that the extended deadline allows more of you to register for the conference and present your recent work to what has become one of the most exciting conferences in our field. The meeting is moving to New York from Boston this year, and the venue at Columbia University in the heart of New York City promises both great science, and an exciting 5 days in the city that never sleeps. The meeting will run from Tue Nov 16 till Sat Nov 20, starting with DREAM5 on Tuesday, continuing with Systems Biology on Wednesday and Thursday, and ending with Regulatory Genomics on Friday and Saturday. Submitted abstracts will be considered for oral platform presentations and also poster presentations. Accepted abstracts will be included in an abstract book to be distributed to all conference participants, along with abstracts of full-length papers accepted in our partner journals PLoS Computational Biology, PLoS ONE, and the Journal of Computational Biology. All submitted abstracts that are not associated with a submitted paper will be treated as personal communication, and the authors will reserve the right to publish their work elsewhere. For details on the meeting, registration, abstract submission and formatting instructions, please see: http://recombsat.c2b2.columbia.edu/ We look forward to welcoming you in New York City this Fall!

The goal of the joint meeting is to bring computational and experimental scientists together towards a systems-level understanding of gene regulation, cell signaling and other cellular processes. The meeting will consist of invited keynote presentations, oral presentations of accepted papers and abstracts, DREAM5 presentations of reverse engineering challenge responses, and four poster sessions. The 2009 meeting drew more than 500 participants, including 125 international participants from 27 countries. We received 250+ abstract submissions, 430+ challenge predictions, and 50+ paper submissions, resulting in 90 oral presentations, 160 poster presentations, and 17 papers published in our partner journals, and we are looking forward to a similar success in New York this year. Topics for papers and abstracts include: * RG: Modeling and recognition of regulatory motifs and modules. * RG: Chromatin state establishment, maintenance, and role in development. * RG: Post-transcriptional regulation and small regulatory RNAs. * RG & SB: Regulatory networks, metabolic networks, proteomic networks. * RG & SB & DREAM: Pathway inference and reverse engineering of cellular networks. * SB: Cellular signatures of biological responses and disease states. * SB: Phosphorylation, metabolic fluxes, systematic phenotyping. * SB: Mathematical modeling and simulation of biological systems. * DREAM: experimental/algorithmic designs of reverse engineering protocols. * DREAM: assessment and comparison of reverse engineering methods. Keynote speakers for 2010 include: Eran Segal and Randall Moon (DREAM5), Alan Aderem, Scott Powell, Stuart Schreiber, Marc Vidal, and Stephen Altschuler (Systems Biology), and Charlie Boone, Chris Sander, Harmen Bussemaker, John Stamatoyannopoulos, Leonid Krugliak, Mike Snyder, and Tom Gingeras (Regulatory Genomics). DREAM5 challenges are available for download: http://wiki.c2b2.columbia.edu/dream/index.php/Challenges Best performers will be invited to present their methods as an oral presentation at the conference.
