The RECOMB-CG satellite conference, founded in 2003, brings together leading researchers in the mathematical, computational and life sciences to discuss cutting edge research in comparative genomics, with an emphasis on computational approaches and novel experimental results. The program includes both invited speakers, contributed talks and poster sessions.

Contributions on any theoretical and/or empirical approach to genome-wide comparison are welcome.

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:

- genome rearrangements
- genomic variation
- diversity and dynamics
- gene identification and annotation
- methods for genome assembly
- cancer evolutionary genomics
- comparative epigenomics
- population genomics
- phylogenomics
- paleogenomics
- epidemiology and related areas
- machine learning in genomics

We encourage submissions that offer new biological findings or otherwise highlight their relevance to biology.

Submitted papers must have not been published or be currently under consideration for publication in any other journal or conference with formal proceedings. The Program Committee will rigorously review submitted papers. Each accepted paper has to be presented by one of the authors at the conference. Accepted papers 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 are encouraged to submit their manuscripts in PDF format according to the LNBI series guidelines: http://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

Submitted papers must be within 15 pages (in the LNBI format), excluding references, with optionally a clearly marked appendix containing supplementary material made available to the reviewers. All submissions must be made online, through the EasyChair submission system, at the following address:

https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=recombcg2022

Authors need to register on that web site before submitting. A standard PDF file must be received by midnight on Friday, January 21, 2022 (any time zone) in order for a submission to be considered. Re-submission of already submitted papers will be possible until midnight Monday, January 24, 2022 (any time zone).

RECOMB-CG proceedings will be published in LNBI. Selected papers will be invited to publish instead (with fees) in a special issue of a journal (under negotiation with Genes, Frontiers in Genetics, Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and other journals), with a short abstract in the proceedings.
