  • Applied Category Theory for Genomics – an Initiative
    Applied Category Theory for Genomics { An Initiative Yanying Wu1,2 1Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour, University of Oxford, UK 2Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, UK 06 Sept, 2020 Abstract The ultimate secret of all lives on earth is hidden in their genomes { a totality of DNA sequences. We currently know the whole genome sequence of many organisms, while our understanding of the genome architecture on a systematic level remains rudimentary. Applied category theory opens a promising way to integrate the humongous amount of heterogeneous informations in genomics, to advance our knowledge regarding genome organization, and to provide us with a deep and holistic view of our own genomes. In this work we explain why applied category theory carries such a hope, and we move on to show how it could actually do so, albeit in baby steps. The manuscript intends to be readable to both mathematicians and biologists, therefore no prior knowledge is required from either side. arXiv:2009.02822v1 [q-bio.GN] 6 Sep 2020 1 Introduction DNA, the genetic material of all living beings on this planet, holds the secret of life. The complete set of DNA sequences in an organism constitutes its genome { the blueprint and instruction manual of that organism, be it a human or fly [1]. Therefore, genomics, which studies the contents and meaning of genomes, has been standing in the central stage of scientific research since its birth. The twentieth century witnessed three milestones of genomics research [1]. It began with the discovery of Mendel's laws of inheritance [2], sparked a climax in the middle with the reveal of DNA double helix structure [3], and ended with the accomplishment of a first draft of complete human genome sequences [4].

  • Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists
    CHAPTER 1 Molecular Biology for Computer Scientists Lawrence Hunter “Computers are to biology what mathematics is to physics.” — Harold Morowitz One of the major challenges for computer scientists who wish to work in the domain of molecular biology is becoming conversant with the daunting intri- cacies of existing biological knowledge and its extensive technical vocabu- lary. Questions about the origin, function, and structure of living systems have been pursued by nearly all cultures throughout history, and the work of the last two generations has been particularly fruitful. The knowledge of liv- ing systems resulting from this research is far too detailed and complex for any one human to comprehend. An entire scientific career can be based in the study of a single biomolecule. Nevertheless, in the following pages, I attempt to provide enough background for a computer scientist to understand much of the biology discussed in this book. This chapter provides the briefest of overviews; I can only begin to convey the depth, variety, complexity and stunning beauty of the universe of living things. Much of what follows is not about molecular biology per se. In order to 2ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY explain what the molecules are doing, it is often necessary to use concepts involving, for example, cells, embryological development, or evolution. Bi- ology is frustratingly holistic. Events at one level can effect and be affected by events at very different levels of scale or time. Digesting a survey of the basic background material is a prerequisite for understanding the significance of the molecular biology that is described elsewhere in the book.

  • The Basic Units of Life How Cell Atlases Can Shed Light on Disease Mechanisms with Remarkable Accuracy
    Press Information, July 28, 2021 Cells: The Basic Units of Life How cell atlases can shed light on disease mechanisms with remarkable accuracy The Schering Stiftung awards the Ernst Schering Prize 2021 to Aviv Regev. A pioneer in the field of single-cell analysis, she successfully combines approaches from biology and computer science and thus revolutionizes the field of precision medicine. Aviv Regev is considered a pioneer in the field of single-cell biology and has broken new ground by combining the disciplines of biology, computation, and genetic engineering. She has uniquely succeeded in combining and refining some of the most important experimental and analytical tools in such a way that she can analyze the genome of hundreds of thousands of single cells simultaneously. This single-cell genome analysis makes it possible to map and characterize a large number of individual tissue cells. Aviv Regev was the first to apply these single-cell technologies to solid tumors and to successfully identify those cells and genes that influence tumor growth and resistance to treatment. In addition, she discovered rare cell types that are involved in cystic fibrosis and ulcerative colitis. Last but not least, together with international research groups, and her colleague Sarah Teichmann she built the Human Cell Atlas and inspired Prof. Aviv Regev, PhD scientists all over the world to use these tools to create a Photo: Casey Atkins comprehensive atlas of all cell types in the human body. These cell atlases of parts of the human body illuminate disease mechanisms with remarkable accuracy and have recently also been used successfully to study disease progression in COVID-19.
