Welcome to the 23nd RECOMB-CG
The 23nd RECOMB-CG conference is co-located with RECOMB 2026 in Thessaloniki, Greece.
The RECOMB satellite conference on Comparative Genomics, 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 invited speakers, contributed talks, and poster sessions.
Contributions on any theoretical and/or empirical approach to genome-wide comparison are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Genome evolution
- Genome rearrangements
- Genomic variation, diversity, and dynamics
- Gene identification and annotation
- Methods for genome assembly
- Cancer evolutionary genomics
- Comparative epigenomics
- Population genomics
- Pangenomics
- Phylogenomics and phylodynamics
- Paleogenomics
- Epidemiology and related areas
- Metagenomics
- Machine learning in genomics
We encourage submissions that offer new biological findings or otherwise highlight their relevance to biology.
