Research in Computational Molecular Biology

Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) is an annual academic conference on the subjects of bioinformatics and computational biology. The conference has been held every year since 1997 and is widely considered as one of two best international conferences in computational biology publishing rigorously peer-reviewed papers, alongside the ISMB conference. The conference is affiliated with the International Society for Computational Biology. Since the first conference, authors of accepted proceedings papers have been invited to submit a revised version to a special issue of the Journal of Computational Biology.[1]

RECOMB was established in 1997 by Sorin Istrail, Pavel Pevzner and Michael Waterman. The first conference was held at the Sandia National Laboratories in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[2]

A series of RECOMB Satellite meetings was established by Pavel Pevzner in 2001. These meetings cover specialist aspects of bioinformatics, including massively parallel sequencing, comparative genomics, regulatory genomics and bioinformatics education.[3] Today, it consists of focused meetings covering various specialized aspects of bioinformatics.

As of RECOMB 2010, the conference has included a highlights track, modelled on the success of a similar track at the ISMB conference. The highlights track contains presentations for computational biology papers published in the previous 18 months.[2][4]

As of 2016 the conference started a partnership with Cell Systems. Each year, a subset of work accepted at RECOMB is also considered for publication in a special issue of Cell Systems devoted to RECOMB. Other RECOMB papers are invited for a short synopsis (Cell Systems Calls) in the same issue. More recently, RECOMB has also partnered with Genome Research to publish revised version of subset of RECOMB-accepted papers.[5]

The RECOMB Steering Committee[6] currently includes Bonnie Berger (chair), Vineet Bafna, Eleazar Eskin, Jian Ma, Teresa Przytycka, Cenk Sahinalp, Roded Sharan, and Martin Vingron.
