This book constitutes the proceedings of the 21th Annual Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology, RECOMB 2017, held in Hong Kong, China, in May 2017.
The 22 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 184 submissions. 16 short abstracts are included in the back matter of the volume. They report on original research in all areas of computational molecular biology and bioinformatics
