Bioinformatics Symposium (2021)
At the request of the UTK Office of Research, the OIT High Performance and Scientific Computing (HPSC) will be hosting an “-omics Symposium” via Zoom on August 12, 2021. This symposium’s goal is to bring together and engage the University of Tennessee research community of any discipline that use high-throughput computing, high performance computing, and/or data science for research in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, informatics, bioinformatics, biocomputing, and other related fields. The Symposium will bring together this University of Tennessee research community with presentations from researchers in the fields and provide an opportunity for community discussions regarding resource and support needs and recommendations. Also, information on currently available resources will be provided.
For some background and context, an interesting paper is the following:
Misra, Biswapriya B., Carl Langefeld, Michael Olivier, and Laura A. Cox. “Integrated omics: tools, advances and future approaches.” Journal of Molecular Endocrinology 62, no. 1 (2019): R21-R45.
No registration is required and each Zoom session will be limited to the first 300 people (if we get that many this will be a real success!)
Thursday, August 12 via Zoom: The beginning Zoom will be https://tennessee.zoom.us/j/91991580938 (UT authentication required). To facilitate recording we will have multiple Zoom sessions. See all the Zoom session links below.
We will have a “Symposium Google document” that participants can see and edit. We will post it in the Zoom chat at the beginning of every session. This document will be for notes, comments, links, and feedback.
