Breakout session
Graph technologies in bioinformatics
October 27, 13:45-15:15
Organiser: Dr. Sven Warris, Wageningen UR
Graph technologies are becoming important parts of bioinformatics and providing more and more biological insights. But what are they, which fundamental new approaches can we expect and what have we gained so far? During this breakout session we will explore the nature of graph technologies and some of their applications in bioinformatics. Graphs are created by linking information in a meaningful way: be it by determining sequence similarity between different genomes or linking genes to their functional annotations, these data structures provide an efficient and structured way of storing and searching them. These graphs are stored in specific graph databases and used in data processing in bioinformatics and biological research. Graph technology is the backbone for many bioinformatics tools and more will sure follow.
Objectives of the session
During this session we will present a few applications of graph technology in bioinformatics, specifically for pangenomics and comparative functional genomics. We aim for a fruitful discussion with the audience on future developments and limits of the technologies.
Target audience
The session is intended towards the general audience of the BioSB. Although some technological details might be presented, our aim is to educated people on the pros and cons of graph technology and inspire researchers to look differently at their data.
