Keynote 2: Parallel Machine Learning Approaches for Reverse Engineering Genome-Scale Network
Speaker:
Prof. Srinivas Aluru, School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
Abstract:
Reverse engineering whole-genome networks from large-scale gene expression measurements and analyzing them to extract biologically valid
hypotheses are important challenges in systems biology. While simpler models easily scale to large number of genes and gene expression datasets,
more accurate models are compute intensive limiting their scale of applicability. In this talk, I will present our research on the development of
parallel mutual information and Bayesian network based structure learning methods to eliminate such bottlenecks and facilitate genome-scale
network inference. As a demonstration, we reconstructed genome-scale networks of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana from 11,700 microarray
experiments using 1.57 million cores of the Tianhe-2 Supercomputer. Such networks can be used as a guide to predicting gene function and
extracting context-specific subnetworks.

Keynote 3: Toward Personalized Pan-Omic Association Analysis under Complex Structure s and Big Data
Speaker:
Prof. Eric Xing, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University
Abstract:
A fundamental aim of modern medical genetics is to connect variations in clinical phenotypes with variations in the genome so that one can identify
druggable genetic artifacts, predict clinical outcomes, and practice personalized medicine. The existing approaches for genetic analysis of complex
human diseases remain inadequate in meeting many of the challenges toward this aim, such as, incorporating complex structural information to
improve power; scaling up to ultra-high dimensionality to capture higher-order effects; adjusting the statistical model to allow personalizable
inference; and furthermore, providing software and cloud API for easy computing. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts in developing
mathematically rigorous, computationally tractable, and user-friendly tools for medical genetic inference and clinical prediction in presence of
multiple confounders, rich prior knowledge, and needs for capturing both shared patterns and individual signatures in complex genetic effects. Our
preliminary results promises to offer a practical basis for personalized medicine in the Big Data era of genomic healthcare.

Keynote 4: Computational challenges in microbiome research
Speaker:
Prof. Mihai Pop, Department of Computer Science/ Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, University of Maryland
Abstract:
Millions of bacteria make our bodies their home. They help keep us healthy, and disruptions in the normal microbiota are believed to contribute to
a number of diseases. Cost-effective sequencing technologies have made it possible to sequence the genomes of human-associated microbial
communities, leading to the birth of a new scientific discipline - metagenomics. Analyzing the resulting data, however, poses significant
computational challenges, in part due to the sheer size of the data-sets, and in part due to the fact that most of the existing computational framework
has been established for single organisms. In my talk I will outline several analytical challenges posed by metagenomic applications, and will
describe recent results from my lab in the development of tools for analyzing metagenomic data. In particular I will discuss insights from our
analysis of diarrheal disease in developing countries, as well as the effective use of co-abundance approaches for linking together data from two large
metagenomic studies.

Invited Talks
Invited Talk 1: Understanding Genotype-Phenotype effects in Cancer via Network Approaches
Speaker:
Dr. Teresa Przytycka, NCBI/NLM/NIH
Abstract:
Uncovering and interpreting phenotype--genotype relationships are among the most challenging open questions in disease studies. In cancer, these
relationships are additionally obscured by heterogeneity of the disease. Pathway-centric approaches have emerged as methods that can empower
studies of heterogeneous diseases. Over the years, using such network based approaches we have designed methods that allow detection of
subnetworks dysregulated in cancer, and to establish associations gene expression and genotype. Our approaches build on variety of algorithmic
techniques including graph-theoretical techniques (module cover) and on machine learning topic model approach (probabilistic genotype-phenotype
model) and information flow. I will demonstrate the utility of our methods using TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) data.

impacting gene expression, functioning of biological pathways, and the phenotype of organisms. Her group developed several new approaches to
study pathways dysregulated in cancer, gene regulation, and analysis of massive HT-SELEX data.
Invited Talk 2: Developing systems genomics approaches to facilitate precision medicine research Speaker:
Dr. Mary Yang, University of Arkansas Little Rock George Washington Donaghey College of Engineering & Information Technology
Abstract:
Technology developments have rapidly produced data that facilitates the emerging precision medicine research. In particular, high-throughput next-
generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have brought unprecedented opportunities in translational genomics research. However, connection of the
genomic and phenotypic information to cellular functions and disease mechanisms relies on the development of effective approaches at higher
systems level. My Systems Genomics Laboratory and the MidSouth Bioinformatics Center aim to integrate different genomic data to study the
mechanisms underlying initiation and progression of complex diseases such as cancer. In this talk, I will present our study of integrating gene
expression profiles with protein interactions to identify cancer biomarkers and disease associated pathways. By further combing with genotype
information, we discovered genetic mutations associated with poor survival rate in patients with ovarian cancer. Our integrative genomics research
also incorporates the study of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). We identified differentially expressed lncRNAs in cancer and revealed that many
over-regulated lncRNAs were bidirectionally oriented with neighboring protein-coding genes. These protein-coding genes are enriched in biological
processes implicated in cancer. The systems genomics approaches enable us to establish a computational framework to comprehensively identify
biomarkers and dysregulated pathways, which will facilitate the precision medicine research

Invited Talk 4: Protein Match Making at Massive Scale
Speaker:
Dr. Chi-Ren Shyu, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Missouri
Abstract:
To investigate structure–function relationships, life sciences researchers typically utilize structure characteristics to study structurally similar
proteins. One application is classifying proteins with similar substructures into the same fold, such as SCOP, a manually constructed database which
is considered highly accurate; however, it is labor intensive. Another application is finding geometrically similar protein binding sites for
understanding protein functions and providing valuable information for protein–protein docking and drug discovery. As of October 2015, there are
112,968 structures in the Protein Data Bank, with this number of structures growing at a rapid rate. A similar trend is also observed as the number of
known protein–protein interaction structures has dramatically increased. The scale of the publicly available structure data makes the human curation
process in comprehensive and in-depth studies challenging. It is essential to develop high-throughput and accurate protein structure analytics
methods for structure match and binding site comparison. In this talk, I will discuss a series of system developments, including ProteinDBS, index-
based protein substructure alignment (IPSA), PPSalign, PBSWords, and PBSalign with a suite of “non-traditional” computational methods in feature
extraction, database indexing, information retrieval, GPU computing, and in-memory computing for massive structure match making in real-time or
pseudo real-time efficiency.

Invited Talk 5: Accurate and Fast RNAseq Analysis Speaker:
Dr. Wei Wang, Department of Computer Science at University of California at Los Angeles
Abstract:
High throughput sequencing technique has been demonstrated as a revolutionary means for modern biology because it provides deep coverage and
base pair-level resolution. It produces vast amount of data which pose new computational challenges, because subsequent analyses often rely on a
sequence alignment step that re-establishes the origin of each read, a process that is both time consuming and error prone. In this talk, we will
present our latest accomplishment in methodology advances that dramatically accelerate the analysis by removing the necessity of sequence
alignment. We will demonstrate through a concrete example of RNASeq quantification, in which we are able to achieve two orders of magnitude
speedup and deliver competitive accuracy.
