The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 initial submissions. The papers illustrate the crucial role of comparative genomics in understanding genome function and address a broad variety of aspects, ranging from the inference of evolution in genetic regulatory networks to the divergent fates of gene and genome duplication events and to the importance of new computational approaches to unraveling the structural evolution of genomes. |

| Publisher Description: Over the last decade great investments have been made in the acquisition of enormous amounts of gene sequence data from a diverse collection of org- isms. Realizing the full potential of these investments will require the continued development of computational tools for comparative genomics and the intel- gent application of these tools to address biologically relevant questions. The RECOMB Workshop on Comparative Genomics (RECOMB-CG) is devoted to bringingtogetherscientistsworkingonallaspectsofcomparativegenomics, from the development of new computational approaches to genome sequence analysis andcomparison, to the genome-wideapplicationofcomputationaltools to study the evolutionary dynamics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. This volume contains the 19 papers presented at the 6th Annual RECOMB- CG workshop held during October 13-15 at the Ecole Normale Sup erieure, in Paris, France. The papers selected for presentation and published in these p- ceedings were selected from 48 submissions from scientists around the world. Each paper was reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee in a stringent and thoughtful peer-review process. |
