Overview ↑

Bordeaux Computational Biology and Bioinformatics days (BCBB) will be organized November, 25 & 26 2014 at LaBRI.

Computational biology, in particular bioinformatics, is one of the hottest scientific areas nationally and internationally. It is essential for the conduct of contemporary life sciences research. It emerged from the traditional fields of health informatics, biostatistics, information sciences, computer sciences, mathematics, molecular biology and genetics. It has grown rapidly to keep pace with the enormous amounts of complex data generated by recent high-throughput technologies, in particular sequencing techniques developed for the Human Genome Project, that demand sophisticated data analysis. Computational biology is now both an active area of primary research, and a tool that underpins research in all of the life sciences.

Computational biology at Bordeaux University is so multidisciplinary that it does not fit gracefully into traditional department and college structures. Thus, we aim to develop a transversal structure to foster its growth so that bioinformatics can play the central role demanded today. This workshop aims to kick-start this collaborative structure by focusing on community events and strengthening of scientific ties.

A survey of research activities in Bioinformatics / Computational Biology has identified four scientific topics that constitute the major focus of groups on the Bordeaux campus working in this area. BCBB will be organized based on these topics; namely:

• "Omics" data analysis and data integration
• Computational biology
• Network analysis
• Modeling

Each topic will be presented via a keynote talk from a not Bordeaux-based invited speakers, three Bordeaux-based speakers as well as an open poster sessions.
On wednesday afternoon (26/11) we organise a one hour session "NGS in practice" where we will cover some practical aspects of NGS analysis such as visualisation and exome analysis.
