RECOMB Satellite Meeting on DNA Sequence Assembly May 19-20 University of Southern California, Los Angeles Program Committee: Gene Myers (Celera), Pavel Pevzner(UCSD), Michael Waterman(USC) http://www-hto.usc.edu/conference/conference.html Assembly of DNA sequences has been an important computational problem since the introduction of the Sanger and Gilbert sequencing methods. Twenty-five years later the limits of the computational algorithms are being tested in the era of genomic sequencing. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together many of the people working on algorithms and software for genome-scale sequencing. There will be invited and contributed talks, and a round table discussion. The goal is to bring world's experts (on both biological and computational sides) for an intense two-day problem-focused meeting with an informal round-table discussion. The confirmed speakers include Serafim Batzioglu (MIT) , Xiaoqiu Huang (University of Iowa), Daniel Huson (Celera), Jim Kent (UCSC), John Kececioglu (Arizona), Jim Mullikin (Sanger), Gene Myers (Celera), Lior Pachter (Berkeley), Mihai Pop (TIGR), Granger Sutton (Celera), Haixu Tang (USC), with a number of other invitations pending. This RECOMB satellite conference on DNA sequencing is sponsored by the University of Southern California and is the second in a series of focused RECOMB-associated conferences on CompBio topics of unusual interest. The first in the series, "RECOMB: Molecular Evolution," will be organized by David Sankoff prior to RECOMB 2001 in Montreal. We plan to have similar conferences as annual events. The program of the conference will consist of invited and contributed talks. Please send one-page abstracts of contributed talks to Elizabeth Kunda, ekunda@hto.usc.edu by March 1, 2001. The authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by March 10 and will be invited to present a talk at the conference.
