Dear Colleague,

We invite submission to the 2016 Next Generation Sequencing - Barcelona
Conference (NGS-Barcelona), April 4-6 in Barcelona, Spain. Hosted by the
International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and the Centre for
Genomic Regulation (CRG), this year's edition will be dedicated to Genome
Annotation.

More details are available from: https://www.iscb.org/ngs2016

This dedicated meeting on cutting-edge approaches to the processing and
analysis of Genome Annotation methods will bring together bioinformatics
researchers involved in the development of genome annotation methods, along
with biologists interested in the establishment and annotation of new
reference genomes. The conference will address a wide range of issues
including RNASeq-based genome annotation, non-coding RNA analysis, proteomics
data integration and data visualization. Sizeable space will be dedicated to
emerging and future trends in genomics including eco-system analysis and
novel reference genomes.

Topics include:

 State of the art technologies, and technologies under development

 Novel software and algorithms

 Novel applications of NGS technologies in genomics and biology

 Post genome sequencing analysis, including RNA analysis, transcription
factor binding sites profiling, histone modifications, nucleosome
positioning, copy number variation, genotyping, RNA structure, dynamics
of transcription and translation, etc.

 Research breakthroughs based on exhaustive applications of NGS

 Clinical and translational applications

 Applications to agriculture and biotechnology

 Novel Reference genomes

The conference will also aim to encompass the associated computational
challenges:


      Novel algorithms, methods and pipelines

 Comparative benchmarks of methods

 New visualisation software for NGS

We welcome original research submissions and previously published research
for oral presentation, as well as Poster abstracts. Plan to submit your
research (http://www.iscb.org/ngs2016-submissions) to this engaging
conference! Abstracts will be accepted through 18 January.

We hope to see you in Barcelona.
