SUBMISSIONS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA
This conference is designed to present the latest findings about regulatory and systems genomics, foster discussion about current research directions, and establish new collaborations that will advance the development of a systems-level understanding of gene regulation. Some possible topics include:
- Modeling and recognition of regulatory modules and motifs
- Epigenomics, chromatin state
- Non-coding chromatin state establishment, maintenance, and role in development
- Regulatory non-coding RNAs, transcriptional
- Co-transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational regulation
- Regulatory networks
- Genetic, molecular, and phenotypic variation and human disease.
- Cellular signatures of biological responses and disease states
- Mathematical modeling and simulation of biological systems
- Methods for systematic validation of high-throughput biological predictions
- Single-cell biology, proteomics, signaling
- Metabolomics
- Ensemble approaches
- Translational systems biology
