Combi Seminars
Co-sponsored by the Department of Genomes Sciences and the Computational Molecular Biology (CMB) Program, the Combi Seminars focus specifically on developments in molecular and computational biology-related research and often feature UW faculty and researchers from regionally affiliated centers and institutes.
All Combi Seminars take place on Wednesdays from 1:30 - 2:30 in Foege Auditorium unless otherwise noted. | remote viewing option

Estimation of high-dimensional directed graphs arises naturally in many biological applications, including the study of biomolecular systems using various -omics measurements. While several existing algorithms can be used for this task, these general-purpose algorithms do not account for features of biological networks and do not take advantage of the properties of biological networks and data. In this talk we discuss alternative algorithms that are specifically designed to take properties of biological networks and data into account and can offer reliable estimates under potentially less stringent assumptions.
5/22 - Dr. JT McCrone | FHCC
