Extracting biological insights from high dimensional datasets requires novel computational approaches. Computational biology groups in the QBI are developing novel methods based on core computer science techniques such as machine learning, optimization, and graph theory, to address problems in the biological and biomedical domains including whole genome and transcriptome alignments and assembly, predictive modeling of complex phenotypes (e.g. electronic health records, brain imaging), analysis and inference of biomolecular networks (e.g. signaling, metabolic, transcriptional), and integrative analysis of diverse -omic datasets capturing systems-level behavior.
