Posters topics will address algorithm, software, database, and analysis of genetic or genomic data, including but not limited to following topics:

  • Integrative Analyses of Biological Data on Multiple Scales      

  • Diagnostic Focus on Genetic and Genomic Data

  • Machine Learning Methods Applied to 'omics' Data    

  • Structural Variants and Non-coding Variants

  • Visualization and Visual Analytics of Biological and Health Data

  • Epigenetics of Human Diseases

  • Computational Systems Biology and Biological Network Modeling

  • Epistasis of Genetic Variants

  • Population and Comparative Genomics                

  • Single-cell Sequencing and Analyses

  • Translational Bioinformatics                                        

  • Imputation of Genomic and Epigenomic Data
