Melaku Gedil takes guests on a tour of the Center. He explains that the Center is to expand the services in the areas of genotyping, bioinformatics, cytogenetics (ploidy analysis), genetics engineering, in vitro propagation/tissue culture, pathogen diagnostics, and training.

William Latham is a computer art pioneer, internationally known for his organic artworks based on the processes of evolution. Up to 1993, he was a Research Fellow at The IBM UK Scientific Centre. He then founded Computer Artworks Ltd, a game studio that produced the video game The THING. Since 2007, Latham is Professor of Computer Art at Goldsmiths, where he applies his evolutionary rule-based approach to the domain of protein folding, scientific visualization and gamification in collaboration with the Bioinformatics department, neuroscientists and Prof. Frederic Leymarie.

This applet implements a 'genetic programming' algorithm. The java program takes as input a table of result and a list of expected numbers. Top-Left: table of data used for input. Last columns are: expected result, normalized expected result, normalized computed result, fitness (|computed-expected|). Top-Right: nine steps of the evolution process. In each setp, on the X axis are displayed the expected values and the comuted values (calculated from the evolving methematical function) are on the Y axis. The fitness is diplayed. Bottom-Left: parameters,"weight" of each function. Bottom-Right: The definition of the current best curve.

It really isn't the promo for a BBC comedy series.. (Thanks Rhys)
Mr. Rommel Anthony Benites Palomino, second-year masters’ student at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, presented his first publication at 11th International Conference on Mathematical and Computational Methods in Science and Engineering (MACMESE'09), on Nov. 7th in Baltimore, MD. The research paper titled “Identifying Significant Genes with FM/CM-GA” is supervised by Prof. Lily Liang, Department of Computer Science and Information Technology. And it is a collaboration with Dr. Deepak Kumar at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences. Also on the research team are Prof. Zhao Lu at Tuskegee University and Mr. Vinay Mandal, a professional from bioinformatics industry. Mr. Benites Palomino’s presentation received positive feedback at the conference. This project is supported by USDA and UDC Agriculture Experiment Station via grant “Developing Fuzzy-set-theory-based Data Mining Methodologies for Diabetes Data Analysis”. Dr. Liang and Mr. Benites Palomino would also like to acknowledge the support provided by their department, school and the Division of Student Affairs.

It has been a busy term for the 49Women in Science Committee, which was formed five years ago after identifying the need for supports and guidance for young women pursuing a career in STEM. Our fall 2022 student event was held on-campus on October 13. Students had the privilege of listening to guest speaker Dr. Fiona Brinkman, SFU professor in Bioinformatics and head of the Brinkman Lab. She shared her educational and career journey, inspiring those in attendance with what is possible.
Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.
I guess my PowerBook is going to be world famous now... or atleast among all the bioinformatics scientists who hopefully will come to know this product!
