Keynote 2: Parallel Machine Learning Approaches for Reverse Engineering Genome-Scale Network Speaker: Prof. Srinivas Aluru, School of Computational Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract: Reverse engineering whole-genome networks from large-scale gene expression measurements and analyzing them to extract biologically valid hypotheses are important challenges in systems biology. While simpler models easily scale to large number of genes and gene expression datasets, more accurate models are compute intensive limiting their scale of applicability. In this talk, I will present our research on the development of parallel mutual information and Bayesian network based structure learning methods to eliminate such bottlenecks and facilitate genome-scale network inference. As a demonstration, we reconstructed genome-scale networks of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana from 11,700 microarray experiments using 1.57 million cores of the Tianhe-2 Supercomputer. Such networks can be used as a guide to predicting gene function and extracting context-specific subnetworks.

Keynote 3: Toward Personalized Pan-Omic Association Analysis under Complex Structure s and Big Data Speaker: Prof. Eric Xing, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University Abstract: A fundamental aim of modern medical genetics is to connect variations in clinical phenotypes with variations in the genome so that one can identify druggable genetic artifacts, predict clinical outcomes, and practice personalized medicine. The existing approaches for genetic analysis of complex human diseases remain inadequate in meeting many of the challenges toward this aim, such as, incorporating complex structural information to improve power; scaling up to ultra-high dimensionality to capture higher-order effects; adjusting the statistical model to allow personalizable inference; and furthermore, providing software and cloud API for easy computing. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts in developing mathematically rigorous, computationally tractable, and user-friendly tools for medical genetic inference and clinical prediction in presence of multiple confounders, rich prior knowledge, and needs for capturing both shared patterns and individual signatures in complex genetic effects. Our preliminary results promises to offer a practical basis for personalized medicine in the Big Data era of genomic healthcare.

Keynote 4: Computational challenges in microbiome research Speaker: Prof. Mihai Pop, Department of Computer Science/ Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, University of Maryland Abstract: Millions of bacteria make our bodies their home. They help keep us healthy, and disruptions in the normal microbiota are believed to contribute to a number of diseases. Cost-effective sequencing technologies have made it possible to sequence the genomes of human-associated microbial communities, leading to the birth of a new scientific discipline - metagenomics. Analyzing the resulting data, however, poses significant computational challenges, in part due to the sheer size of the data-sets, and in part due to the fact that most of the existing computational framework has been established for single organisms. In my talk I will outline several analytical challenges posed by metagenomic applications, and will describe recent results from my lab in the development of tools for analyzing metagenomic data. In particular I will discuss insights from our analysis of diarrheal disease in developing countries, as well as the effective use of co-abundance approaches for linking together data from two large metagenomic studies. Short Bio: Dr. Pop is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and the Center for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP).

Invited Talks Invited Talk 1: Understanding Genotype-Phenotype effects in Cancer via Network Approaches Speaker: Dr. Teresa Przytycka, NCBI/NLM/NIH Abstract: Uncovering and interpreting phenotype--genotype relationships are among the most challenging open questions in disease studies. In cancer, these relationships are additionally obscured by heterogeneity of the disease. Pathway-centric approaches have emerged as methods that can empower studies of heterogeneous diseases. Over the years, using such network based approaches we have designed methods that allow detection of subnetworks dysregulated in cancer, and to establish associations gene expression and genotype. Our approaches build on variety of algorithmic techniques including graph-theoretical techniques (module cover) and on machine learning topic model approach (probabilistic genotype-phenotype model) and information flow. I will demonstrate the utility of our methods using TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) data.

Invited Talk 2: Developing systems genomics approaches to facilitate precision medicine research Speaker: Dr. Mary Yang, University of Arkansas Little Rock George Washington Donaghey College of Engineering & Information Technology Abstract: Technology developments have rapidly produced data that facilitates the emerging precision medicine research. In particular, high-throughput nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) technologies have brought unprecedented opportunities in translational genomics research. However, connection of the genomic and phenotypic information to cellular functions and disease mechanisms relies on the development of effective approaches at higher systems level. My Systems Genomics Laboratory and the MidSouth Bioinformatics Center aim to integrate different genomic data to study the mechanisms underlying initiation and progression of complex diseases such as cancer. In this talk, I will present our study of integrating gene expression profiles with protein interactions to identify cancer biomarkers and disease associated pathways. By further combing with genotype information, we discovered genetic mutations associated with poor survival rate in patients with ovarian cancer. Our integrative genomics research also incorporates the study of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). We identified differentially expressed lncRNAs in cancer and revealed that many over-regulated lncRNAs were bidirectionally oriented with neighboring protein-coding genes. These protein-coding genes are enriched in biological processes implicated in cancer. The systems genomics approaches enable us to establish a computational framework to comprehensively identify biomarkers and dysregulated pathways, which will facilitate the precision medicine research Short Bio: Dr. Mary Yang is the Director of MidSouth Bioinformatics Center and Director of the Joint Bioinformatics Ph.D. Program of University of Arkansas Little Rock George Washington Donaghey College of Engineering & Information Technology and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

Invited Talk 3: Empowering self-management for chronic conditions through technology and analytics: Can machines care for us? Speaker: Huiru (Jane) Zheng, School of Computing and Mathematics, Ulster University, UK. Abstract: Population aging is widespread across the world. The impact of an ageing population affects all countries. As people age, they are progressively more likely to live with complex co-morbidities, disability and frailty. People with long-term conditions are the most frequent users of health care services. Technologies are changing out everyday lives and transforming healthcare. In this talk I will overview state-of-the-art technologies in telecare, and present our research work on supporting chronic care through technology and analytics. In particular, it will focus on personalized care and selfmanagement. The challenges and opportunities of healthcare informatics will be discussed.

Invited Talk 4: Protein Match Making at Massive Scale Speaker: Dr. Chi-Ren Shyu, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Missouri Abstract: To investigate structure–function relationships, life sciences researchers typically utilize structure characteristics to study structurally similar proteins. One application is classifying proteins with similar substructures into the same fold, such as SCOP, a manually constructed database which is considered highly accurate; however, it is labor intensive. Another application is finding geometrically similar protein binding sites for understanding protein functions and providing valuable information for protein–protein docking and drug discovery. As of October 2015, there are 112,968 structures in the Protein Data Bank, with this number of structures growing at a rapid rate. A similar trend is also observed as the number of known protein–protein interaction structures has dramatically increased. The scale of the publicly available structure data makes the human curation process in comprehensive and in-depth studies challenging. It is essential to develop high-throughput and accurate protein structure analytics methods for structure match and binding site comparison. In this talk, I will discuss a series of system developments, including ProteinDBS, indexbased protein substructure alignment (IPSA), PPSalign, PBSWords, and PBSalign with a suite of “non-traditional” computational methods in feature extraction, database indexing, information retrieval, GPU computing, and in-memory computing for massive structure match making in real-time or pseudo real-time efficiency.

It produces vast amount of data which pose new computational challenges, because subsequent analyses often rely on a sequence alignment step that re-establishes the origin of each read, a process that is both time consuming and error prone. In this talk, we will present our latest accomplishment in methodology advances that dramatically accelerate the analysis by removing the necessity of sequence alignment. We will demonstrate through a concrete example of RNASeq quantification, in which we are able to achieve two orders of magnitude speedup and deliver competitive accuracy.
