Regulatory &
Systems Genomics
Satellite Meeting

Thessaloniki, Greece May 25, 2026 RECOMB 2026 ↗
Submit via EasyChair

Welcome to the RECOMB-RSG 2026. This satellite meeting brings together researchers to discuss emerging frontiers in the algorithmic, mathematical, and statistical study of gene regulation and systems biology.

The program will feature invited talks and contributed presentations. A key focus is on scientific discussion: we strongly encourage participants to submit and present preprints or recently published work. This approach allows new results to be discussed in detail, critiqued constructively, and built upon collaboratively.

Contributions on any theoretical and/or empirical approach to regulatory systems are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Gene Regulatory Networks
  • Single-cell Multi-omics
  • Spatial Transcriptomics
  • Chromatin & Epigenomics
  • Deep Learning in Genomics
  • Virtual Cell Models
  • Evolutionary Systems Biology
  • Perturbation Biology
  • Machine Learning in Genomics
  • Multi-modal Integration

  • Submission: 2 page abstract describing the problem, results, and significance.
  • Deadline: February 15, 2026.
  • Requirement: Full paper must be submitted to a preprint server by February 15, 2026 to ensure accessibility.
  • Format: Selected abstracts will be invited for oral presentations.

Highlights Track

For high-impact computational work published in a journal after January 1, 2025.

  • Submission: 1-2 page abstract.
  • Deadline: February 15, 2026.
  • Format: Selected abstracts will be invited for oral presentations.

Lightning Talks (Late-Breaking)

For unpublished work, late-breaking results, or recently published findings.

  • Submission: 2 page abstract.

History

The Regulatory & Systems Genomics (RSG) meeting has been a part of the computational biology community for over two decades. Started in 2004 as a satellite meeting of RECOMB, it has traveled across the US and the world, fostering collaboration and innovation.

From 2007 to 2024, the meeting was held in combination with the ISCB DREAM Challenges. View 2024 Conference →
