HiTSeq 2021 Call for Abstracts - Virtual Conference, July 2021
HiTSeq
is the yearly gathering of the ISCB Community of Special Interest in
High Throughput Sequencing algorithms. This meeting takes the form of a
topical track at the ISMB 2021 Conference, and is devoted to the latest
advances in computational techniques for the analysis of
high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data. It provides a forum for in depth
presentations of novel algorithms, analysis methods, and methods
enabling applications in multiple areas of biology that HTS is
transforming.
HiTSeq is a track of the ISMB 20212 conference, which this year will be a
virtual conference held jointly with the ECCB conference in European
time. HiTSeq 2021 3-day program will include keynote talks from Angela
Brooks (UCSC), Bjarni Halldorsson (Reykjavik University & deCode),
and Steven Salzberg (JHU). In addition a number of talks will be
delivered from authors of accepted ISMB proceeding papers. For more
information see: http://hitseq.org
We are soliciting abstracts on research and tools on the convergence of sequencing and biology to be reviewed for either oral or poster presentation
at the conference - we are interested all topics related to
high-throughput sequencing data analysis, including genome sequencing
and assembly, genetic variation analysis, cancer genomics,
transcriptomics, epigenetic, metagenomics, and general sequence analysis
algorithms, in particular those where new sequence technologies and
data analysis modalities are applied.
The HiTSeq program will be composed of over 20 talks, half of them selected from abstract submissions.
In order to provide enough information to be considered as talks,
abstract can extend up to two pages, where methods and some results
(including optionally a table or figure) can be provided.
The abstracts that are not selected for talks, will be presented as e-posters,
where authors will be able to submit their poster PDF and a brief
"flash talk" recording on their research, to be posted in the ISMB
2021 virtual poster plaza. Thee will be times set-up to allow for Q/A
between attendees and poster presenters to allow for interactivity in
this new format. Abstract should be submitted through the ISMB abstract EasyChair submission system. Please be sure to select HiTSeq as you COSI for submission in our track. For more information please review HiTSeq website.
