The 3rd DREAM Conference

From Dream Initiative

This year, the DREAM conference is partnering with two related events in systems and regulatory biology in what promises to be a very exciting joint meeting. Our partners are the 5th Annual RECOMB Satellite on Regulatory Genomics and the 4th Annual RECOMB Satellite on Systems Biology. The joint conference on systems and regulatory biology will be held at MIT, in the Broad Institute, on Oct 29-Nov 2nd, 2008, between Wed at 5pm and Sun at 1pm.

For information on the joint conference, including invited speakers, venue, hotels, etc., please visit the site for the joint conferences of RECOMB Systems Biology/Regulatory Genomics/DREAM3

As in the previous DREAM conferences, DREAM3 will feature posters and oral presentations of papers accepted by our Program Committee. Besides this usual conference format, the DREAM3 Conference will feature the discussion of predictions of a set of four DREAM3 challenges. Each challenge is composed of one or more datasets which originated from a biological system or in-silico representation of a biological system that have some aspects unknown to the challenge participants. The predictors are invited to infer as best as possible the unknown data or underlying network associated witht the challenge. The actual measurements and networks along with the results of the predictions will be disclosed at the conference.

Conference Program

Call for Oral Presentations, Papers and Posters

This year, there are several ways of contributing to the conference

Option 1: Submit a 1-page abstract (RegulatoryGenomics/SystemsBiology/DREAM3)

These will be used to select short talks for oral presentations and posters. You can upload your one-page abstract while registering online. Please use the provided One-page abstract template. Deadline: Sept 15, 2008.

Option 2: Submit a 10-page manuscript (RegulatoryGenomics/SystemsBiology/DREAM3)

These will be reviewed by the program committee, and will be part of the conference proceedings. (Conference proceedings will be treated as personal communication, and the authors reserve the right to publish elsewhere a journal version of their paper). Formatting guidelines are those of RECOMB extended abstracts. You can submit manuscripts here: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recombsbrgdream2008. Deadline: Aug 1, 2008.

Option 3: Also submit your manuscript for consideration by our partner journals

Genome Research and Nature Molecular Systems Biology will conduct a parallel review for a subset of the papers, which will appear in a special issue of the two journals, and also be presented at the conference. Formatting guidelines for Partner Journal Submissions: GR guidelines, Nature MSB guidelines. Submission is still done through EasyChair, by selecting as an option the journal(s) you prefer: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recombsbrgdream2008. Deadline: Aug 1, 2008.
