Neo4j and Bioinformatics [Webinar]
Thursday August 9 10:00 PDT / 19:00 CEST
From the webpage:
The world of data is changing. Big Data and NOSQL are bringing new ways of understanding your data.
This opens a whole new world of possibilities for a wide range of fields, and bioinformatics is no exception. This paradigm provides bioinformaticians with a powerful and intuitive framework, to deal with biological data that is naturally interconnected.
Pablo Pareja will give an overview of Bio4j project, and then move to some of its recent applications.
- BG7: a new system for bacterial genome annotation designed for NGS data
- MG7: metagenomics + taxonomy integration
- Evolutionary studies, transcriptional networks, network analysis..
- Future directions
Speaker: Pablo Pareja, Project Leader of Bio4j
