<div>The recent application of high throughput technologies to transcriptomics has changed our view of gene regulation and function. The discovery of extensive transcription of large RNA transcripts, termed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), provide an important
and new perspective on the centrality of RNA in gene regulation. LncRNAs are involved in various biological and cellular processes, such as genetic imprinting, chromatin remodeling, gene regulation and embryonic development. LncRNAs have been implicated in
several chronic diseases, such as cancers, and heart disease, etc. Various types of genomic data on lncRNAs are currently available, including sequences, secondary/tertiary structures, transcriptome data, and their interactions with related proteins or genes.
The key challenge is how to integrate data from myriad sources to determine the functions and the regulatory mechanism of these ubiquitous lncRNAs.</div>

<div>We invite you to submit papers with unpublished, original research describing recent advances on the areas related to this workshop. All papers will undergo peer review by the conference program committee. All papers accepted will be included in the Workshop
Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshop. Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their papers for submission to special issues in prestigious Journals.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Fellowships:</div>
<div>Funds are available for limited fellowships to support the participation of students, and of researchers from underrepresented minority groups in the workshop. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We aim at supporting at least one author for each accepted paper, depending on number of papers, and on availability of funds.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Journal Special Issue:<br>
<span>Authors of selected submissions will be invited to extend their papers for submission for review and possible publication in a special issue of the journal -- Non-Coding RNA.
