Welcome to the 22nd RECOMB-CG

The 22nd RECOMB-CG conference is co-located with RECOMB 2025 in Seoul, South Korea.

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.

Authors of accepted papers have the following options:

  • Have the full manuscript (maximum 15 pages, excluding references, with an optional clearly marked appendix of supplementary material) published in the proceedings.

    • OR

  • Have a 4-page version published in the proceedings, provided that the full version is available on arXiv or bioRxiv.

Accepted contributions will be presented at the RECOMB-CG 2025 meeting. Authors of selected contributions may be invited to submit an extended version for consideration in PLOS Computational Biology or the Journal of Computational Biology (publication fees apply).
