Special session :"Bioinformatics in France"

Tuesday, July 25 2023



 

The French bioinformatics community is rich and diverse. It brings together many actors from the academic and industry domains. The "Bioinformatics in France" is a ISMB/ECCB2023 special session organized by the SFBI (French Society of Bioinformatics) and it will give a broad view of bioinformatics in France.

This afternoon session is open to all ISMB/ECCB attendees. First, the actions and goals of the main French groups in bioinformatics (SFBI, GdR-BIM, IFB-Elixir) will be presented. Then, we will invite you to listen to researchers from our community who will share their latest and most innovative research work. All the session will have that very special “french flavor”.

To take the time to exchange, we will continue our discussions during a poster session followed by a French style culinary evening. In addition to its scientific dynamism, we hope to show you how friendly our community is.

Keywords: France, community, Elixir, ecology and evolution, genomics, metagenomics, population genomics, algorithms, knowledge representation, databases, structural bioinformatics and proteomics, machine learning, systems biology

"Design and application of deep neural networks for population genetics"

As population genetic datasets keep increasing in size, it is common to observe millions of genomic markers sequenced for hundreds of individuals, opening the possibility of answering intricate biological questions. However, extracting relevant information from these genomic datasets is not trivial due to their size, the complexity of the underlying mechanisms, and sometimes impossible due to privacy rules that govern several human genome databases. Deep learning approaches have recently been introduced at different levels of population genetics for parameter inference, data visualization, or generation. I will give a short overview of current applications of discriminative and generative neural networks in this field and present some advances we made in designing architectures for evolutionary inference and data generation.
