Description |
|
| The rapid development of new high-throughput sequencing technologies has opened new avenues for biological investigation on an ever-growing scale, and there is great interest among statisticians in the methodological challenges inherent in this quickly evolving domain. Addressing the new statistical demands is a prerequisite for sustained progress in biological and biomedical research predicated on these new high-throughput technologies. This interdisciplinary workshop is intended to be a forum for (i) the dissemination of cutting-edge biotechnological and methodological developments and (ii) the identification of challenging data analysis problems. The focus is on statistical, mathematical, and computational aspects addressing concrete real-world biological questions and medical applications. Specific workshop topics include algorithms for the analysis of deep sequencing data, applications to infectious diseases and cancer, integration of heterogeneous high-throughput genomic data types, and advances in statistical computing for these problems. Confirmed invited speakers include: Michael Brudno (University of Toronto), Chris Greenman (Sanger Institute), Willi Gruissem (ETH Zurich), Sunduz Keles (University of Wisconsin-Madison), John Marioni (EBI), Sach Mukherjee (University of Warwick), Ben Raphael (Brown University), Simon Tavare (Cancer Research UK), Amalio Telenti (University of Lausanne), with others still pending. Contributed presentations will also be welcome.
