HiTSeq 2011: Conference on High Throughput Sequencing and Algorithms
http://www.hitseq.org July 15-16, 2011 in Vienna, Austria (prior to
ISMB)
Call for Papers (with Bioinformatics journal) and Abstracts
Key Dates:
• Paper submission deadline: March 1st
• Paper acceptance notification: March 25th
• Abtract submission deadline: May 16th
• Oral/Poster presentation decision: May 27th
Overview:
The Conference on High Throughput Sequencing and Algorithms (HiTSeq
2011) will be held prior to the ISMB conference. HiTSeq follows the
successful Short-SIG meetings at Boston (220 attendees) Stockholm (200
attendees) and Toronto (120 attendees), and will bring together
biologists and computational scientists interested in exploring the
challenges and opportunities in the analysis of high-throughput
sequencing (HTS) data.
HiTSeq 2010 welcomes submissions on any topic related to high
throughput sequencing technologies including the anticipated 3rd
generation sequencing platforms. We are especially interested in
presentations describing methodology to infer various polymorphisms
(SNPs, larger insertions/deletions, copy number variants), methods for
analysis of RNA sequencing data (RNA expression, de-novo transcriptome
sequencing, novel transcript discovery), and other applications of HTS
(transcription factor binding site discovery, nucleosome positioning,
methylation profiling, analysis of metagenomic samples, and
tumor/normal paired sample studies). We are also interested in
algorithms that take full advantage of long reads and rich kinetic
information inherent with real-time detection from 3rd generation
sequencing data, with application to de novo assembly, structural
variation, haplotyping, and fast viral screening. Given the different
error models and throughput of short read and expected 3rd generation
platforms, their coexistence and combination may be effective to
address a number of biological problems. Algorithms that integrate
multiple read types with their different properties will be of
interest for the conference.
Papers:
We are soliciting high-quality papers that will go through rigorous
peer-review. Accepted papers will be presented at HiTSeq as either
posters or talks, and will be published in a special proceedings
section of the Bioinformatics journal. Furthermore, Bioinformatics and
Oxford University Press are offering a $700 prize or open access
charge waiver for the best paper presented at the meeting. Papers
requiring extensive revisions will be considered separately as
abstract presentations at the SIG and as regular papers for the
Bioinformatics journal. All manuscripts should be submitted via the
Bioinformatics online submission system at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bioinformatics. During submission
please specify HiTSeq as one of the keywords, and include a cover
letter stating the manuscript should be considered for the HiTSeq
conference.
Authors of papers that were submitted, but not selected, for the main
ISMB conference may submit an updated version of their ISMB paper with
the full ISMB reviews and a response to the reviewers for HiTSeq
consideration by March 23rd. They will be notified of any decision by
March 28th. See http://hitseq.org for more information.
Abstracts:
Simultaneously HiTSeq also allows for the submission of abstracts,
which will be evaluated independently for the conference proceedings.
The abstracts should target topics of immediate relevance in the
field. To be considered for an oral presentation the material should
not have been previously published in any journal or proceedings.
Abstracts (maximum 2 pages long) are to be submitted as attachments to
[email protected] in plain text or Word format.
Oral/Poster presentations:
Presentations at HiTSeq may be either plenary talks or a poster at the
conference poster session. The final decisions whether each paper or
abstract is presented as a talk or a poster will be made by May 27th.
