Birds of a Feather (BoF) Schedule
Topic: Visualizing Biological Data
Leader: Seán O'Donoghue
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Affiliation: European Molecular Biology Laboratory
Time: Monday, July 12, 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Room: 304
Description:
Visualization is one of the primary ways that biologists interact with their data, however today’s systems are inadequate for many high-throughput data sets. We invite those interested to a discussion of recent and ongoing community efforts aimed at improving integration, effectiveness, and usability of visualization in biology (e.g.,http://vizbi.org, http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v7/n3s).
Topic: Scaling up Biomedical Knowledge Bases
Leader: Kevin Livingston
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Affiliation: Center for Computational Pharmacology, University of Colorado Denver
Time: Monday, July 12, 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Room: 306
Extensive semantic resources and new standards and technologies have transformed biomedical knowledge-bases, but challenges remain in building, using, sharing, and maintaining them. This BoF will discuss technologies, scaling issues, and potential community-wide collaborations.
Topic: Network visualization and analysis using Cytoscape
Leader: Gary Bader
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Time: Tuesday, July 13, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Room: 302
Description:
Network visualization and analysis is frequently used in computational biology and biology. Cytoscape is one software system that handles this task. The Cytoscape team is interested in connecting with users and developers of network visualization and analysis software to get feedback on Cytoscape and to discuss challenges and opportunities in this area.

Topic: A practical approach to web semantics using Reflect
Leader: Seán O'Donoghue
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Affiliation: European Molecular Biology Laboratory
Time: Tuesday, July 13, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Room: 304
Description:
Semantic tagging of biochemical entities in webpages helps life scientists deal with the large number of protein and chemicals names and synonyms. Released in 2009, Reflect is used by 40,000+ life scientists to tag biochemical entities in webpages. The Reflect team is interested to meet users and content providers to get feedback and discuss opportunities.
Topic: BioHDF
Leader: Dana Robinson
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Affiliation: The HDF Group
Time: Tuesday, July 13, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Room: 306
Description:
This BoF discussion will be about using BioHDF to store next-generation sequencing (NGS) data with a special focus SAM/BAM interoperability.
Topic: BioPAX
Leader: Nadia Anwar
Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Affiliation: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Time: Tuesday, July 13, 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Room: 312
Desc: The BioPAX ontology (www.biopax.org) is a standard language for formally representing biological pathways and is available to the biological community to enable exchange and integration of pathway data. To get involved, or learn more about BioPAX please join us for an informal tutorial/round table session.
ISMB 2010 Activities
ISMB 2010 PLoS Postcards can be found here.
The presenters listed here have allowed their presentations to be available to PLoS postcards.
Samples of PLoS Computational Biology Postcards from PSB 2010 are available here.
- Any postdoctoral fellow or graduate student is eligible to be a reporter. Reporters may submit more than one report for consideration, but each report may only have one author.
- Your Conference Postcard should be between 800-1000 words and should not include images or figures.
-
You should include:
- A synopsis of what was presented.
- Reasons why you think your chosen presentation is outstanding.
- How it related to the theme of the meeting.
- The impact it had on attendees.
- Additional references considered useful.
- Any presentation at the conference deemed to be of exceptional significance to the broader community by the reporter is eligible to be reported. No permission from speakers is required beyond those obtained by ISMB. A list of ISMB presenters (including presentation time and location) agreeing to be written about will be posted on the ISMB conference website by June 30, 2010.
-
Please do not submit reports on presentations given by a close colleague.
-
Preference will be given to reports that demonstrate evidence of additional research into the topic to support or counter the work presented, e.g., views of the work by other attendees gathered through personal interactions or blogs or information based on further discussions with the presenters.
-
Reports accepted by the Editors for publication will be presented as a single article with author ordering determined by the PLoS Editors. PLoS Editors may request that the reporters make (generally minor) changes to the selected reports.
-
As with all PLoS content, the Conference Postcards will be published under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CCAL) Agreement; made freely and fully available immediately upon publication; and deposited in PubMed Central and indexed in PubMed.
-
Your submission should be sent via email to contribute [at] plos.org with the report in the body of the email or attached as a Word document. Please use “ISMB 2010 Postcards” as the subject of your email. Please include your name, institution, and the title of the session being reported on within both the submitted report and the message text of your email.
- The closing date for submissions is: July 28, 2010
