The conferences remain faithful to their original idea of providing a platform to discuss biology of cell, metabolism, molecular biology, neural modeling, biophysics, biochemistry, computer biology, genetics, theoretical chemistry, computational material science, numerical analysis for chemical engineering and chemistry, computational intelligence tools for chemistry and chemical engineering, computational molecular science and nanoscience, mathematical molecular medicine, chemical fluid mechanics, environmental chemical engineering etc. with participants from all over the world, both from academia and from industry. Their success is reflected in the papers received, with participants coming from several countries, allowing a real multinational multicultural exchange of experiences and ideas. The accepted papers of these conferences are published in this Book that will be indexed by ISI. Please, check it: www.worldses.org/indexes as well as in the CD-ROM Proceedings. They will be also available in the E-Library of the WSEAS. The best papers will be also promoted in many Journals for further evaluation. Conferences such as these can only succeed as a team effort, so the Editors want to thank the International Scientific Committee and the Reviewers for their excellent work in reviewing the papers as well as their invaluable input and advice.

  • 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 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.

  • Modeling and Analysis of RNA-Seq Data: a Review from a Statistical Perspective
    Modeling and analysis of RNA-seq data: a review from a statistical perspective Wei Vivian Li 1 and Jingyi Jessica Li 1;2;∗ Abstract Background: Since the invention of next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technolo- gies, they have become a powerful tool to study the presence and quantity of RNA molecules in biological samples and have revolutionized transcriptomic studies. The analysis of RNA-seq data at four different levels (samples, genes, transcripts, and exons) involve multiple statistical and computational questions, some of which remain challenging up to date. Results: We review RNA-seq analysis tools at the sample, gene, transcript, and exon levels from a statistical perspective. We also highlight the biological and statistical questions of most practical considerations. Conclusion: The development of statistical and computational methods for analyzing RNA- seq data has made significant advances in the past decade. However, methods developed to answer the same biological question often rely on diverse statical models and exhibit dif- ferent performance under different scenarios. This review discusses and compares multiple commonly used statistical models regarding their assumptions, in the hope of helping users select appropriate methods as needed, as well as assisting developers for future method development. 1 Introduction RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) uses the next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to reveal arXiv:1804.06050v3 [q-bio.GN] 1 May 2018 the presence and quantity of RNA molecules in biological samples. Since its invention, RNA- seq has revolutionized transcriptome analysis in biological research. RNA-seq does not require any prior knowledge on RNA sequences, and its high-throughput manner allows for genome-wide profiling of transcriptome landscapes [1,2].
