The recent availability of the human and mouse genomes have shown that the
vast majority of the genes are almost identical between human and mouse.
The differences between human and mouse most likely stem from variations in
the gene regulatory networks. However, much of this regulatory network is unknown.
In fact, with the tremendous success of genome sequencing efforts and the
numerous complete genome sequences available, much is unknown about the
regulatory networks of any of these sequenced genomes.
One of the main challenges facing researchers today is deciphering the
regulatory mechanisms of genes.
This challenge includes detecting the transcription factor binding sites
involved in regulation as well as discovering the regulatory networks.
Automatic methods for helping decipher the regulatory mechanism are crucial
for understanding the regulatory network.
The core of these methods are the motif-finding algorithms that can help
identify regulatory elements. However, many new challenges are presented
when analyzing complete genomes. These challenges include scaling to very
large samples, incorporating multiple genomes, detection of weak signals
and incorporating different types of genomic data such as protein
localization data and gene expression.
The 3rd RECOMB Satellite Workshop on Regulatory Genomics
continues the tradition of previous RECOMB Satellite Meetings,
which are focused workshops on topics of
particular interest to computational biology community.
The program features an exciting group of invited speakers,
presentations of accepted abstracts, and opporunities for discussion.
Topics include:
- All aspects of regulation including modeling and recognition of
regulatory elements
- Identification and modeling of cis-regulatory regions
- Modeling the structure and function of the regulatory region
- Comparative genomics of regulation
