  • Functional Effects Detailed Research Plan
    GeCIP Detailed Research Plan Form Background The Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP) brings together researchers, clinicians and trainees from both academia and the NHS to analyse, refine and make new discoveries from the data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. The aims of the partnerships are: 1. To optimise: • clinical data and sample collection • clinical reporting • data validation and interpretation. 2. To improve understanding of the implications of genomic findings and improve the accuracy and reliability of information fed back to patients. To add to knowledge of the genetic basis of disease. 3. To provide a sustainable thriving training environment. The initial wave of GeCIP domains was announced in June 2015 following a first round of applications in January 2015. On the 18th June 2015 we invited the inaugurated GeCIP domains to develop more detailed research plans working closely with Genomics England. These will be used to ensure that the plans are complimentary and add real value across the GeCIP portfolio and address the aims and objectives of the 100,000 Genomes Project. They will be shared with the MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and Cancer Research UK as existing members of the GeCIP Board to give advance warning and manage funding requests to maximise the funds available to each domain. However, formal applications will then be required to be submitted to individual funders. They will allow Genomics England to plan shared core analyses and the required research and computing infrastructure to support the proposed research. They will also form the basis of assessment by the Project’s Access Review Committee, to permit access to data.

    SupérieureS atiqueS athéM e M inaire D SéM The planet on which we live and the challenges that we face on this planet become increasingly complex as ecological, economic and social systems are large intertwined networks governed by dynamic processes and feedback loops. Mathematical models are indispensable in understanding and managing such systems since they provide insight into governing processes; they help predict future behavior; and they allow for risk-free evaluation of possible interventions. The goal of this thematic program is to tackle pressing and emerging challenges in population and ecosystem health, including understanding and controlling major transmissible diseases, optimizing and monitoring vaccination, predicting the impacts of climate change on invasive species, protecting biodiversity and managing ecosystems sustainably. This pan-Canadian program will bring together the international community of researchers who work on these topics in a series of workshops to foster exchange and stimulate cross-disciplinary research between all scientific areas involved, to discuss perspectives and directions for future advances in the field, including new models and methods and to foster tighter links between the research community, government agencies and policy makers. Three summer schools will introduce graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to the art of modeling living systems and to the latest tools and techniques to analyze these models.

  • The Principled Design of Large-Scale Recursive Neural Network Architectures–DAG-Rnns and the Protein Structure Prediction Problem
    Journal of Machine Learning Research 4 (2003) 575-602 Submitted 2/02; Revised 4/03; Published 9/03 The Principled Design of Large-Scale Recursive Neural Network Architectures–DAG-RNNs and the Protein Structure Prediction Problem Pierre Baldi [email protected] Gianluca Pollastri [email protected] School of Information and Computer Science Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-3425, USA Editor: Michael I. Jordan Abstract We describe a general methodology for the design of large-scale recursive neural network architec- tures (DAG-RNNs) which comprises three fundamental steps: (1) representation of a given domain using suitable directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to connect visible and hidden node variables; (2) parameterization of the relationship between each variable and its parent variables by feedforward neural networks; and (3) application of weight-sharing within appropriate subsets of DAG connec- tions to capture stationarity and control model complexity. Here we use these principles to derive several specific classes of DAG-RNN architectures based on lattices, trees, and other structured graphs. These architectures can process a wide range of data structures with variable sizes and dimensions. While the overall resulting models remain probabilistic, the internal deterministic dy- namics allows efficient propagation of information, as well as training by gradient descent, in order to tackle large-scale problems. These methods are used here to derive state-of-the-art predictors for protein structural features such as secondary structure (1D) and both fine- and coarse-grained contact maps (2D). Extensions, relationships to graphical models, and implications for the design of neural architectures are briefly discussed.

    RNA Society Newsletter Aug 2016 From the Desk of the President, Sarah Woodson Greetings to all! I always enjoy attending the annual meetings of the RNA Society, but this year’s meeting in Kyoto was a standout in my opinion. This marked the second time that the RNA meeting has been held in Kyoto as a joint meeting with the RNA Society of Japan. (The first time was in 2011). Particular thanks go to the local organizers Mikiko Siomi and Tom Suzuki who took care of many logistical details, and to all of the organizers, Mikiko, Tom, Utz Fischer, Wendy Gilbert, David Lilley and Erik Sontheimer, for putting together a truly exciting and stimulating scientific program. Of course, the real excitement in the annual RNA meetings comes from all of you who give the talks and present the posters. I always enjoy meeting old friends and colleagues, but the many new participants in this year’s meeting particularly encouraged me.
