Massachusetts Broad Institute of Computer Science Institute of MIT and Harvard and Artificial Technology Intelligence Lab Wednesday December 2nd, 2009 Dear attendees, Welcome to the 6th Annual RECOMB Satellite on Regulatory Genomics, the 5th Annual RECOMB Satellite on Systems Biology, and the 4th Annual DREAM reverse engineering challenges. The goal of this meeting is to bring together computational and experimental scientists in the area of regulatory genomics and systems biology, to discuss current research directions, latest findings, and establish new collaborations towards a systems-level understanding of activities in the cell. The next 5 days will consist of keynote presentations, oral presentations selected from submitted full length papers and 1-page abstracts, and posters presentations also selected from submitted abstracts. But most importantly, it’s an opportunity to connect, discuss, exchange ideas, think together, and plan ahead. For the second year in a row this meeting has been sold out, this year more than a month in advance. We have also received a record number of more than 50 full length papers and more than 250 abstracts, resulting in a scientific program of outmost quality. All submitted full length papers were fully reviewed by the program committee and 17 were accepted to the conference and by our partner journals, with 8 papers going to PLoS Computational Biology and 9 papers to PLoS ONE. These papers should appear online by the time the meeting starts, and will be ultimately linked together with the corresponding talks on the PLoS website, providing a new means for science dissemination. All abstracts were reviewed by the conference chairs and 16 additional session chairs, resulting in 50 abstracts selected for oral presentation, and most remaining abstracts for poster presentation. Welcome to Boston, for what promises to be a very exciting meeting! The conference chairs: Regulatory Genomics: Manolis Kellis (MIT), Ziv Bar-Joseph (CMU).

  • In Silico Prediction of High-Resolution Hi-C Interaction Matrices
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13423-8 OPEN In silico prediction of high-resolution Hi-C interaction matrices Shilu Zhang1, Deborah Chasman 1, Sara Knaack1 & Sushmita Roy1,2* The three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome plays an important role in gene regulation bringing distal sequence elements in 3D proximity to genes hundreds of kilobases away. Hi-C is a powerful genome-wide technique to study 3D genome organization. Owing to 1234567890():,; experimental costs, high resolution Hi-C datasets are limited to a few cell lines. Computa- tional prediction of Hi-C counts can offer a scalable and inexpensive approach to examine 3D genome organization across multiple cellular contexts. Here we present HiC-Reg, an approach to predict contact counts from one-dimensional regulatory signals. HiC-Reg pre- dictions identify topologically associating domains and significant interactions that are enri- ched for CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) bidirectional motifs and interactions identified from complementary sources. CTCF and chromatin marks, especially repressive and elongation marks, are most important for HiC-Reg’s predictive performance. Taken together, HiC-Reg provides a powerful framework to generate high-resolution profiles of contact counts that can be used to study individual locus level interactions and higher-order organizational units of the genome. 1 Wisconsin Institute for Discovery, 330 North Orchard Street, Madison, WI 53715, USA. 2 Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53715, USA. *email: [email protected] NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | (2019) 10:5449 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13423-8 | www.nature.com/naturecommunications 1 ARTICLE NATURE COMMUNICATIONS | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-13423-8 he three-dimensional (3D) organization of the genome has Results Temerged as an important component of the gene regulation HiC-Reg for predicting contact count using Random Forests.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Jeffry Howbert Jeff Bilmes Department of Genome Sciences Department of Electrical Engineering University of Washington University of Washington William Stafford Noble Department of Genome Sciences Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Washington April 4, 2017 Abstract The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) and the Roadmap Epigenomics Project have produced thousands of data sets mapping the epigenome in hundreds of cell types. How- ever, the number of cell types remains too great to comprehensively map given current time and financial constraints. We present a method, PaRallel Epigenomics Data Imputation with Cloud-based Tensor Decomposition (PREDICTD), to address this issue by computationally im- puting missing experiments in collections of epigenomics experiments. PREDICTD leverages an intuitive and natural model called \tensor decomposition" to impute many experiments si- multaneously. Compared with the current state-of-the-art method, ChromImpute, PREDICTD produces lower overall mean squared error, and combining methods yields further improvement. We show that PREDICTD data can be used to investigate enhancer biology at non-coding human accelerated regions. PREDICTD provides reference imputed data sets and open-source software for investigating new cell types, and demonstrates the utility of tensor decomposition and cloud computing, two technologies increasingly applicable in bioinformatics.

  • ABSTRACT HISTORICAL GRAPH DATA MANAGEMENT Udayan
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: HISTORICAL GRAPH DATA MANAGEMENT Udayan Khurana, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Amol Deshpande Department of Computer Science Over the last decade, we have witnessed an increasing interest in temporal analysis of information networks such as social networks or citation networks. Finding temporal interaction patterns, visualizing the evolution of graph properties, or even simply com- paring them across time, has proven to add significant value in reasoning over networks. However, because of the lack of underlying data management support, much of the work on large-scale graph analytics to date has largely focused on the study of static properties of graph snapshots. Unfortunately, a static view of interactions between entities is often an oversimplification of several complex phenomena like the spread of epidemics, informa- tion diffusion, formation of online communities, and so on. In the absence of appropriate support, an analyst today has to manually navigate the added temporal complexity of large evolving graphs, making the process cumbersome and ineffective. In this dissertation, I address the key challenges in storing, retrieving, and analyzing large historical graphs. In the first part, I present DeltaGraph, a novel, extensible, highly tunable, and distributed hierarchical index structure that enables compact recording of the historical information, and that supports efficient retrieval of historical graph snapshots. I present analytical models for estimating required storage space and snapshot retrieval times which aid in choosing the right parameters for a specific scenario. I also present optimizations such as partial materialization and columnar storage to speed up snapshot retrieval. In the second part, I present Temporal Graph Index that builds upon DeltaGraph to support version-centric retrieval such as a node’s 1-hop neighborhood history, along with snapshot reconstruction.

  • 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].
