Computational Gene Discovery

New sequencing technologies have transformed the whole landscape of biological research. Computational gene discovery on a big data scale has to address problems of NGS read assembly along with building pipelines of genome annotation and interpretation concordant with multiple layers of OMICs data. The task of annotation of protein-coding and RNA genes in large eukaryotic genomes still presents a bottleneck in obtaining biological knowledge from sequence information. The Workshop talks will describe the latest advances in all components of computational gene discovery. The speakers represent leading research groups developing state-of-the-art algorithms and methods of structural and functional annotation integrating different types of OMICs data (genomic, RNA, protein, proteomics data, etc.).
