12th International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB2008)

The RECOMB Conference Series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for theoretical advances in computational biology and their applications in molecular biology and medicine. The conference series aims at attracting research contributions in all areas of computational molecular biology. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are: * Molecular sequence analysis, * Recognition of genes and regulatory elements, * Molecular evolution, * Protein structure, * Structural genomics, * Gene expression, * Gene networks, * Drug design, * Combinatorial libraries, * Computational proteomics, * Structural and functional genomics. The origins of the conference came from the mathematical and computational side of the field, and there remains a certain focus on computational advances. However, the effective use of computational techniques to biological innovation is also an important aspect of the conference.
