DASS-GUI – a new data mining tool
Room: 306
Presenting author: Thomas Wilhelm, Institute of Food Research, United Kingdom

Abstract:
Biological research will benefit from sophisticated mining of large 'omics' data. We demonstrate the data mining tool DASS-GUI (www.ifr.ac.uk/dass/gui), using the case study 'Identification and validation of protein complexes'. DASS-GUI allows pattern identification and additional analyses. It has two unique features, handling of multi-sets and calculation of statistical significances.

Detection of functionally related proteins with Transitivity Clustering
Room: 309
Presenting author: Jan Baumbach, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany

Abstract:
Partitioning biomedical data objects into groups, such that objects in each cluster share common traits, is a long-standing challenge. Here, we introduce Transitivity Clustering. We demonstrate its value exemplarily for protein sequence clustering tasks, i.e. we illustrate how our approach aids at each point in a typical data analysis workflow.
