About
Computational Cancer Biology is a rapidly expanding area, utilizing deep sequencing techniques (“Next Generation Sequencing”) that facilitate the sequencing of tens of thousands of tumor genomes, along with other matching information. Large international projects are collecting and organizing this data, but developing powerful algorithms for the data analysis is a bottleneck. Current analysis techniques combine graph theoretic and machine learning approaches. One such line of work builds on the rich combinatorial and algorithmic theory of genome rearrangements. Another aims to improve classification of cancer patients and reveal biomarkers for specific disease subtypes, with the goal of improved diagnosis, prognosis and patient stratification. This workshop aims to survey the state of the art in this field and explore new algorithmic approaches with potentially large impact.
