Workshop on

High-Throughput Data Analysis for Proteomics and Genomics

in conjunction with BIBM

 

High-throughput (HT) data acquisition technologies, such as DNA microarray, protein micrarray, tissue microarray, mass spectrometry, 2D gel or fluorescent microscopy, have being increasingly used in basic biomedicine and clinics for a wide range of biomedical applications.  Advancement in computational data analysis is necessitated to keep pace with new HT technologies due to the nature of biological data, for example, small sample size while high-dimensional features (genes, proteins). With the enormous observation sets, biologists seek to make sense of this growing body of data from which meaningful inferences about biological processes can be drawn. Because of the uniqueness of HT data, classical computational data analysis methods need to be fostered and revisited to meet the indispensable needs from the wide biomedical community.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on high-throughput data analysis to share and communicate the technical challenges and discoveries. All accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Research papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following topics:
