The 1st International Symposium of CCII
-Bioinformatics and its application to cancer and other diseases-
January 15 (Fri), 2021
Overview
Modern biology has transitioned into a new dimension.
Classical biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology can no longer be pursued without sophisticated instrumentation technologies.
Huge amounts of heterogeneous omics data produced by machines, including DNA/RNA sequences, mass spectrometry readouts, image analysis and FACS sorting, have to be weaved together in conjunction with biological phenotypes.
Similarly, the linkage between large scale information and clinical phenotypes requires these advanced information-producing technologies and the ability to reason about data-phenotype relationships in the face of uncertainty, which is addressed in part by the field of Bioinformatics.
The field is emerging to the center stage of biological and clinical research, and is continuing to develop new methodologies to handle the tsunami of information obtained and its required weaving.
The CCII organizes the 1st International Symposium on Bioinformatics to invite many young scientists who are involved in or want to develop next generation biology using large scale data generation and its mathematical analysis.

Cancer Mutations in Normal Tissues
Call for Papers for Short Talks
Next-generation sequencing technology is most extensively applied in cancer and rare disease studies. In basic cancer research, basic studies aiming to elucidate its molecular mechanisms and clinical application to pinpoint gene mutations to optimize treatment strategies have made enormous progress. In rare disease study areas, it has successfully been applied to pinpoint the causative mutation in Mendelian diseases. However, the diagnostic rate still stays as low as 30~40% of the patients, and further bioinformatics development is required to increase the rate. We are still searching for analysis methods to pick up disease-related genes in "oligogenic disease" efficiently.
In the short talk session, we encourage young researchers to present their genomics/omics research using the latest bioinformatics tools. In particular, identification of their genetic factors leading to a rapid and reliable diagnosis and the development of new bioinformatics algorisms are most welcome.
Applicants are asked to submit a one-page abstract.
