  • 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].

Methods and Perspectives. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 2051. 60 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-1225-5. In the last decades, mathematical and computational models have become ubiquitous to the field of systems biology. Specifically, the multiscale nature of biological processes makes the design and simulation of such models challenging. In this thesis we offer a perspective on available methods to study and simulate such models and how they can be combined to handle biological processes evolving at different scales. The contribution of this thesis is threefold. First, we introduce Orchestral, a multiscale modular framework to simulate multicellular models. By decoupling intracellular chemical kinetics, cell-cell signaling, and cellular mechanics by means of operator-splitting, it is able to combine existing software into one massively parallel simulation. Its modular structure makes it easy to replace its components, e.g. to adjust the level of modeling details. We demonstrate the scalability of our framework on both high performance clusters and in a cloud environment.

  • OMA, a Comprehensive, Automated Project for the Identification of Orthologs from Complete Genome Data: Introduction and First Achievements
    OMA, A Comprehensive, Automated Project for the Identification of Orthologs from Complete Genome Data: Introduction and First Achievements Christophe Dessimoz, Gina Cannarozzi, Manuel Gil, Daniel Margadant, Alexander Roth, Adrian Schneider, and Gaston H. Gonnet ETH Zurich, Institute of Computational Science, CH-8092 Z¨urich [email protected] Abstract. The OMA project is a large-scale effort to identify groups of orthologs from complete genome data, currently 150 species. The algo- rithm relies solely on protein sequence information and does not require any human supervision. It has several original features, in particular a verification step that detects paralogs and prevents them from being clustered together. Consistency checks and verification are performed throughout the process. The resulting groups, whenever a comparison could be made, are highly consistent both with EC assignments, and with assignments from the manually curated database HAMAP. A highly ac- curate set of orthologous sequences constitutes the basis for several other investigations, including phylogenetic analysis and protein classification. Complete genomes give scientists a valuable resource to assign functions to se- quences and to analyze their evolutionary history. These analyses rely heavily on gene comparison through sequence alignment algorithms that output the level of similarity, which gives an indication of homology. When homologous sequences are of interest, care must often be taken to distinguish between orthologous and paralogous proteins [1]. Both orthologs and paralogs come from the same ancestral sequence, and therefore are homologous, but they differ in the way they arise: paralogous se- quences are the product of gene duplication, while orthologous sequences are the product of speciation.
