  • 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].

  • The Ethos and Effects of Data-Sharing Rules: Examining The
    Informed consent for: "The ethos and effects of data-sharing rules: Examining the history of the 'Bermuda principles' and their effects on 21 st century science" University of Adelaide Duke University Researchers at the University of Adelaide, Australia, and the IGSP Center for Genome Ethics, Law & Policy, Duke University, are engaged in research on the Bermuda Principles for sharing DNA sequence data from high-volume sequencing centers. You have been selected for an interview because we believe that the recollections you may have of your experiences with the International Strategy Meetings for Human Genome Sequencing (1996-1998) will be interesting and helpful for our project. We expect that interviews will last from 30 minutes to much longer, but you may stop your interview at any time. Your participation is strictly voluntary, and you do not have to answer every question asked. Your interview is being recorded and we may take written notes during the interview. After your interview, we may prepare a typed transcript of the interview. If we prepare a transcript, you will have an opportunity to review it and to make deletions and corrections. Unless you indicate otherwise, the information that you provide in this interview will be "on the record"-that is, it can be attributed to you in the various articles and chapters that we plan to write, and thus could become public through these channels. Jf, however, at some point in the interview you want to provide us with information that might be useful for us to know, but which you do not want to have attributed to you, you should tell us that you wish to go "off the record" and we will stop the recording.

  • Concepts, Historical Milestones and the Central Place of Bioinformatics in Modern Biology: a European Perspective
    1 Concepts, Historical Milestones and the Central Place of Bioinformatics in Modern Biology: A European Perspective Attwood, T.K.1, Gisel, A.2, Eriksson, N-E.3 and Bongcam-Rudloff, E.4 1Faculty of Life Sciences & School of Computer Science, University of Manchester 2Institute for Biomedical Technologies, CNR 3Uppsala Biomedical Centre (BMC), University of Uppsala 4Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences 1UK 2Italy 3,4Sweden 1. Introduction The origins of bioinformatics, both as a term and as a discipline, are difficult to pinpoint. The expression was used as early as 1977 by Dutch theoretical biologist Paulien Hogeweg when she described her main field of research as bioinformatics, and established a bioinformatics group at the University of Utrecht (Hogeweg, 1978; Hogeweg & Hesper, 1978). Nevertheless, the term had little traction in the community for at least another decade. In Europe, the turning point seems to have been circa 1990, with the planning of the “Bioinformatics in the 90s” conference, which was held in Maastricht in 1991. At this time, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) had been newly established in the United States of America (USA) (Benson et al., 1990). Despite this, there was still a sense that the nation lacked a “long-term biology ‘informatics’ strategy”, particularly regarding postdoctoral interdisciplinary training in computer science and molecular biology (Smith, 1990). Interestingly, Smith spoke here of ‘biology informatics’, not bioinformatics; and the NCBI was a ‘center for biotechnology information’, not a bioinformatics centre. The discipline itself ultimately grew organically from the needs of researchers to access and analyse (primarily biomedical) data, which appeared to be accumulating at alarming rates simultaneously in different parts of the world.

  • ISCB's Initial Reaction to the New England Journal of Medicine
    MESSAGE FROM ISCB ISCB’s Initial Reaction to The New England Journal of Medicine Editorial on Data Sharing Bonnie Berger, Terry Gaasterland, Thomas Lengauer, Christine Orengo, Bruno Gaeta, Scott Markel, Alfonso Valencia* International Society for Computational Biology, Inc. (ISCB) * [email protected] The recent editorial by Drs. Longo and Drazen in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) [1] has stirred up quite a bit of controversy. As Executive Officers of the International Society of Computational Biology, Inc. (ISCB), we express our deep concern about the restric- tive and potentially damaging opinions voiced in this editorial, and while ISCB works to write a detailed response, we felt it necessary to promptly address the editorial with this reaction. While some of the concerns voiced by the authors of the editorial are worth considering, large parts of the statement purport an obsolete view of hegemony over data that is neither in line with today’s spirit of open access nor furthering an atmosphere in which the potential of data can be fully realized. ISCB acknowledges that the additional comment on the editorial [2] eases some of the polemics, but unfortunately it does so without addressing some of the core issues. We still feel, however, that we need to contrast the opinion voiced in the editorial with what we consider the axioms of our scientific society, statements that lead into a fruitful future of data-driven science: • Data produced with public money should be public in benefit of the science and society • Restrictions to the use of public data hamper science and slow progress OPEN ACCESS • Open data is the best way to combat fraud and misinterpretations Citation: Berger B, Gaasterland T, Lengauer T, Orengo C, Gaeta B, Markel S, et al.
