The 3th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AlCoB 2016) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. AlCoB 2016 will be held in Trujillo (Spain) on June 21-22, 2016. See

http://grammars.grlmc.com/AlCoB2016/

Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with the conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion.

TOPICS

Presentations displaying novel work in progress on algorithms in computational biology are encouraged on the following topics:

– assembling sequence reads into a complete genome,
– identifying gene structures in the genome,
– recognizing regulatory motifs,
– aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes,
– reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and
– inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species.

Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome.

KEY DATES

Submission deadline: May 14, 2016
Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: May 21, 2016

SUBMISSION

Please submit a .pdf abstract through:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=alcob2016

It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words.

PRESENTATION

Posters will be allocated 10 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging out during the whole conference for discussion.

PUBLICATION

Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNBI proceedings volume of AlCoB 2016. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB, 2014 JCR impact factor: 1.438, quartile Q1).

REGISTRATION

At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference. The registration fare is reduced: 240 Euro. However, it gives the same rights all other conference participants have (attendance, copy of the proceedings volume, lunches…). Contributors of regular papers who in addition get a poster accepted must register for the latter independently.
