In recent years, research has focused on next generation sequencing (NGS) to characterize genomic content. Now that the scientific community is equipped with efficient and reliable methods, it is natural to expect that the vast amount of information generated by NGS methods will be further analyzed to seek answers to fundamental biological and medical questions.

This session recognizes this challenge and will provide a forum for methods and algorithms developed for analysis of finalized next-generation sequencing data. Motivated by the flourishing availability of genome sequences and related data, novel computational methods that interpret these data for research and clinical applications are invited to this session.

Submission Information

Submitted papers are peer-reviewed and accepted on a competitive basis. At least three reviewers will be assigned to each submitted manuscript.

Paper Format

Please see the PSB paper format template and instructions at http://psb.stanford.edu/psb-online/psb-submit.

The file formats we accept are: postscript (*.ps) and Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf)). Attached files should be named with the last name of the first author (e.g. altman.ps or altman.pdf). Hardcopy submissions or unprocessed TEX or LATEX files will be rejected without review.

Each paper must be accompanied by a cover letter. The cover letter must state the following:

1. •The email address of the corresponding author.
   

2. •The specific PSB session that should review the paper or abstract.
   

3. •The submitted paper contains original, unpublished results, and is not currently under consideration elsewhere.
   

4. •All co-authors concur with the contents of the paper.
   

 

Submitted papers are limited to twelve (12) pages in PSB publication format. Please format your paper according to instructions found at http://psb.stanford.edu/psb-online/psb-submit/. If figures cannot be easily resized and placed precisely in the text, then it should be clear that with appropriate modifications, the total manuscript length would be within the page limit.

Contact PSB (psb.hawaii at gmail.com) for additional information about paper submission requirements.

1. •Computational methods and algorithms, informatics concepts, tools, and techniques for analysis of finalized next generation sequencing data
   

2. •Interpretation and analysis of next generation sequencing data for basic science
   

3. •Computational methods and algorithms used to analyze NGS data for translational science
   

Other topics related to the subject are welcome.

Accepted papers will be published electronically and indexed in Pubmed.
