BCL-2: From Translocation to Therapy

Impaired apoptosis is a critical step in the development of cancer and a major impediment to effective therapy. Bcl-2, the oncoprotein activated by chromosome translocation in human follicular lymphoma, inhibits cells from undergoing apoptosis in response

Preface

This volume contains the papers presented at the 12th Annual International Conference on REsearch in COmputational Molecular Biology (RECOMB 2008) held in Singapore, March 30-April 2, 2008. The RECOMB conference series was founded in 1997 by Sorin Istrail, Pavel Pevzner and Michael Waterman. Its history is summarized in the table herein. The general development of the RECOMB conference series is guided by a Steering Committee. RECOMB 2008 was hosted by the National University of Singapore and held at the University Cultural Centre. The Conference Chair was Limsoon Wong, who was supported by a 16-member-strong Organizing Committee. Out of 193 papers submitted to RECOMB 2008, the Program Committee (PC) selected 34 papers for presentation at the conference. The PC consisted of 46 members, who could further draw on the help of subreviewers. Three PC members with possible help of the external reviewers first reviewed each paper, subsequently a Web-based discussion led to t
