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).
HFSP: high speed homology-driven function annotation of proteins Yannick Mahlich, Martin Steinegger, Burkhard Rost, Yana Bromberg
Bioinformatics, Volume 34, Issue 13, 1 July 2018, Pages i304–i312 https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/bty262
The rapid drop in sequencing costs has produced many more (predicted) protein sequences than can feasibly be functionally annotated with wet-lab experiments.
mi-faser: major update of web-service and standalone-version New in the public web-service:
NMDS analysis between submitted samples
Register user account for faster access to submissions / analyses
faster submission processing (less then ~15min per 20GB reads)
Functional sequencing read annotation for high precision microbiome analysis Chengsheng Zhu, Maximilian Miller, Srinayani Marpaka, Pavel Vaysberg, Malte C. Rühlemann, Guojun Wu Femke-Anouska Heinsen, Marie Tempel, Liping Zhao, Wolfgang Lieb Andre Franke, Yana Bromberg.
Dr. Yana Bromberg is chairing the Proteins session of the fourth International Society for Computational Biology Latin America Bioinformatics Conference (ISCB-LA) together with Dr. Diego U. Ferreiro (Laboratorio de Fisiología de Proteins, Dpto Química Biológica / IQUIBICEN-CONICET, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires).
We developed clubber (CLUster-load Balancer for Bioinformatics E-Resources) to automate distribution of computation between independent and heterogenous compute resources based on individual workloads, queueing, and computation times.
clubber is available as docker image and as GitHub repository via bitbucket.
Dr. Yana Bromberg spoke at the virtual conference Genetics and Genomics 2017. The title of the talk is: “What went wrong in the prediction of functional effects of exomic variation”.
