Instructional Workshop on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

Last day of the workshop is reserved for the presentation of research articles by the participants in the fields related to Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. Title and abstract may be submitted for the possible presentation on or before November 22, 2019. Organizers will bring out a book of abstarcts.

A huge amount of data, particularly biological data, based on experimental studies is available in various databases such as KEGG, STRING, HPRD, MINT, DIP, Reactome, BioGRID, SPIKE, IntAct etc. Most of these data are representable as a networks. The main focus of this workshop are to identify and learn the use of network based tools for extracting useful information from the above data and to identify feasible results which are to be validated experimentally.
Some of networks that appear in the area of Biological networks are

Brain Network

Protein interaction network

Gene regulatory network

Metabolic network

The above networks are among the network models such as scale free networks, random networks, small world networks, regular networks. Further, network parameters such as degree centrality, stress centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, eigenvector centrality etc are useful in analyzing the networks.
The objective of this workshop is to discuss on different databases associated with biological experiments, visualization of biological networks and tools for analyzing these networks. This course consists of designing of theoretical models and hands on training in analyzing the networks using software packages.
