Researchers have been taking advantage of
advances in computational biology and genome - wide screening techniques to identify genetic signatures for cancer prognosis.
This background proved to be fruitful for undertaking problems
in computational biology at a time when genomic technologies were beginning to produce large amounts of data.
Eventually he found Zoe Katsimitsoulia, who had a PhD
in computational biology from the University of Oxford and was working at another Toronto company.
Berger and her colleagues — first authors Noah Daniels, a postdoc in her group, and William Yu, a graduate student in applied mathematics, and David Danko, an undergraduate
major in computational biology — show that data sets are amenable to their compressive search techniques if they meet two criteria.
Employment in computational biology has gone through rapid booms and busts as various industries tried, with varying success, to find profitable uses for these scientists» highly technical skills.
«The targeted nanorods tied up the integrin and blocked its functions, so it could not keep guiding the cytoskeleton to overproduce lamellipodia and filopodia,» said Yan Tang, a postdoctoral
assistant in computational biology who worked on the study.
To better understand the significance of how various networks are interconnected, the Carnegie Mellon researchers, including Christos Faloutsos, professor of computer science, and Xin He, a Lane
Fellow in computational biology, modified the well - known duplication - divergence model used to explain the evolution of molecular networks.
Senior author Golnaz Vahedi, PhD, an assistant professor of Genetics, brings her multidisciplinary
training in computational biology, epigenetics, and immunology to bear on the question of T - cell identity.
It is used in compressed sensing for reconstructing sparse signals using few linear measurements; clustering high - dimensional data; and DNA motif
finding in computational biology.
As the lead computational scientist on the paper, Dr John Marioni at EMBL - EBI, said: «Making sense of the data generated in studies like this is only possible thanks to ongoing
advances in computational biology.
First, advances
in computational biology, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence are permanent features helping reduce the time and cost of drug development.
