The WABI 2011 workshop was part of the six ALGO 2011 conference meetings, which, in addition to WABI, included ESA, IPEC, WAOA, ALGOSENSORS, and ATMOS. WABI 2011 was hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and sponsored by the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). See https://algo2011.mpi-inf.mpg.de/ for more details. The Workshop in Algorithms in Bioinformatics highlights research in al- gorithmic work for bioinformatics, computational biology, and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore direc- tions of future research. Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) or state-of- the-art surveys were solicited for WABI 2011 in all aspects of algorithms in bioinformatics, computational biology, and systems biology. In response to our call, we received 77 submissions for papers and 30 were accepted. In addition, WABI 2011 hosted a distinguished lecture by Vincent Moulton, of the University of East Anglia, UK. We would like to sincerely thank the authors of all submitted papers and the conference participants. We also thank the Program Committee and their sub-referees for their hard work in reviewing and selecting papers for the workshop. We would especially like to thank Bernard Moret for all his advice and sup- port in carrying out the role of being Co-chairs, as well as EasyChair for making the management of the submissions to WABI such an easy process. Thanks once again to all who participated in making WABI such a success in 2011. For us it has been an exciting and rewarding experience.

    Topics in Signal Processing: applications in genomics and genetics Abdulkadir Elmas Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 c 2016 Abdulkadir Elmas All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Topics in Signal Processing: applications in genomics and genetics Abdulkadir Elmas The information in genomic or genetic data is influenced by various complex processes and appropriate mathematical modeling is required for studying the underlying processes and the data. This dissertation focuses on the formulation of mathematical models for certain problems in genomics and genetics studies and the development of algorithms for proposing efficient solutions. A Bayesian approach for the transcription factor (TF) motif discovery is examined and the extensions are proposed to deal with many interdependent parameters of the TF-DNA binding. The problem is described by statistical terms and a sequential Monte Carlo sampling method is employed for the estimation of unknown param- eters. In particular, a class-based resampling approach is applied for the accurate estimation of a set of intrinsic properties of the DNA binding sites. Through statistical analysis of the gene expressions, a motif-based computational approach is developed for the inference of novel regulatory networks in a given bacterial genome. To deal with high false-discovery rates in the genome-wide TF binding predictions, the discriminative learning approaches are examined in the context of sequence classification, and a novel mathematical model is introduced to the family of kernel-based Support Vector Machines classifiers. Furthermore, the problem of haplotype phasing is examined based on the genetic data obtained from cost-effective genotyping technologies.

  • Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2010
    Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 15:v-viii PACIFIC SYMPOSIUM ON BIOCOMPUTING 2010 This year marks the 15th year of PSB. Started in 1996 by Teri Klein and Larry Hunter, the meeting was a session within the Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences Conference (HICSS) for a couple of years. The interest in biocomputing was great and was threatening to alter the balance of attendees within the HICSS meeting, and so the organizers asked Teri and Larry to find an alternative. Taking advantage of the nice meeting opportunities in Hawaii immediately following New Year’s Day, they created PSB with a simple formula: oral presentation of peer reviewed papers in emerging areas of biocomputing, interactive poster sessions, and lively discussion sessions on these topics. They invited Keith Dunker and Russ Altman to join the team for the second PSB, and we have been working together ever since. In fifteen years, we have had some papers that have made remarkable impact. Using Google Scholar, the top 15 papers, in terms of citations over the last 15 years are listed below (with number of citations listed as of September 2009, followed by the reference). Obviously, there are other great papers, especially ones that have been written in the last few years, that have not yet had time to rise to the top of this list. Nevertheless, the list provides highlights of the last 15 years in biocomputing challenges. (573) REVEAL, A General Reverse Engineering Algorithm for Inference of GeneticNetwork Architectures S.
