#CMU is hosting an #NSFFunded Workshop on the Future of Algorithms in Biology #fab2018 Sept. 28-29, 2018. Submit a proposal to speak, present a poster, or for a travel fellowship! fab2018.cbd.cmu.edu

The #NSFFunded "Workshop on the Future of Algorithms in Biology" is being held here at Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Dept. (CMU School of Computer Science), September 28-29! Have an idea about the direction of the field? Submit a talk, poster or travel application: fab2018.cbd.cmu.edu U.S. National Science Foundation ISCB News Carl Kingsford Michael Schatz

You may have seen the flyers about #FAB2018 while attending ISCB News's #ISMB18/#ISMB2018. If you have opinions about the Future of Algorithms in Biology there's less than 2 weeks to submit your talk proposal to be included in the workshop here at Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Dept.! fab2018.cbd.cmu.edu/submit/

In a large-scale study of 137 Hi-C samples, we find that TADs vary fairly significantly across cell types, and even across replicates. Check out the preprint for more details and TAD variability analysis!

A new method diagnoses COVID-19 patients with near-perfect accuracy (98.4%!) without waiting for symptoms. The approach inspects the body's immune response at a molecular level, measuring changes in the mix of mRNA. Flatiron Institute Flatiron CCB Simons Foundation simonsfoundation.org/2023/02/27/new…

Excited to share our latest preprint! With a great team led by Natalie Sauerwald and @avithemicrobe: “Decomposition of phenotypic heterogeneity in autism reveals distinct and coherent genetic programs.” Our paper sheds light on structures of heterogeneity in autism, and how
