The Critical Assessment of Massive Data Analysis (CAMDA) Fellowship supports participation of the CAMDA 2019 Conference in Basel, running in collaboration with ISMB/ECCB.
The Douglas E. Eveleigh Travel Award for graduate students is awarded each year by the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology of the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences. This year Yannick Mahlich is one of the recipients, to support his international travel to scientific conferences.
A paper came out in Human mutation, variation, informatics and desease, with collaborators Marco Carraro, Giovanni Minervini, Manuel Giollo, Emidio Capriotti, Rita Casadio, Roland Dunbrack, Lisa Elefanti, Pietro Fariselli, Carlo Ferrari, Julian Gough, Panagiotis Katsonis, Emanuela Leonardi, Olivier Lichtarge, Chiara Menin, Pier Luigi Martelli, Abhishek Niroula, Lipika R.
We attended the ISMB 2018 conference of the ISCB (International Society of Computational Biology) from July 6 to July 10 at Chicago.
Yannick gave a talk titled HFSP: High speed homology-driven function annotation of proteins.
Congratulations to Chengsheng, who won the Best Talk prize on July 8 for the CAMDA (Critical Assessment of Massive Data Analysis) challenge during the ISMB 2018 conference of the ISCB (International Society of Computational Biology).

The rapid drop in sequencing costs has produced many more (predicted) protein sequences than can feasibly be functionally annotated with wet-lab experiments.
