□ Controlling Self-Organizing Dynamics on Networks Using Models that Self-Organize: a self-organized critical system

>> http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v111/i7/e078701

"Controlling self-organizing systems is challenging because the system responds to the controller. Here, we develop a model that captures the essential self-organizing mechanisms of Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld (BTW) sandpiles on networks, a self-organized critical (SOC) system. This model enables studying a simple control scheme that determines the frequency of cascades and that shapes systemic risk."




□ その生物学的意味とデータ利用価値まで知見として提供できるシステムやインフラの構築までがお仕事。解析サービスのみに将来性はない →"バイオインフォマティシャンの重要な役割は解析することではない(中略)生物学者に生物的意義を説明すること" http://kengg.blog75.fc2.com/blog-entry-263.html


その辺りでの事業を考えて、市場調査なりをしてるのだけど、海外ではデータの解析・共有→仮説生成から自動化するインフラ構想も着々と進行していて、現場で技術者にしか出来ないことは減らす方向にある。Bioinformaticsの扱う専門領域が、研究と技術方面にどう分かれるのかも興味深い

ただ遺伝子データ関連のサービスプロバイダ事業を立ち上げる場合、現在の解析から踏み込んで施策・戦略アドバイザーまで提供すると、利益相反行為に触れるラインがありそうなので、そこをツールで自動化したいという試み

□ General power and sample size calculations for high-dimensional genomic data: χ2 distributed test statistics: http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/sagmb.2013.12.issue-4/sagmb-2012-0046/sagmb-2012-0046.xml;jsessionid=FC90024156F84E21374F8643A4D1202F

a pilot-data based method for power and sample size analysis which can handle more general experimental designs and uses pilot-data to obtain estimates of the effect sizes. The method can also handle χ2 distributed test statistics which enables power and sample size calculations for a much wider class of models, including high-dimensional generalized linear models which are used, e.g., for RNA-seq data analysis.

□ Biology must never develop its own big-data systems:

>> http://www.eaglegenomics.com/2013/08/biology-must-never-develop-its-own-big-data-systems/

The terminologies/ontologies chosen to annotate data may be biological in nature, but at the technical level the aggregation and integration of disparate data sources from multiple repostories by means of querying and integrating at the metadata level through common or inter-mapped annotation standards is absolutely generic in nature and applies to all data management problems, not just biology. For biology as a whole to try and build its own specialist tools to manage this is just as bad as the situation today where individual labs are building their own in-house versions.

>> http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1003118

Bioconductor infrastructure for representing and computing on annotated genomic ranges and integrating genomic data with the statistical computing features of R and its extensions. At the core of the infrastructure are three packages: IRanges, GenomicRanges, and GenomicFeatures.

These packages provide scalable data structures for representing annotated ranges on the genome, with special support for transcript structures, read alignments and coverage vectors. Computational facilities include efficient algorithms for overlap and nearest neighbor detection, coverage calculation and other range operations. This infrastructure directly supports more than 80 other Bioconductor packages, including those for sequence analysis, differential expression analysis and visualization.
