Title:                    Encoding sequencing data (and time)


Abstract:

  We will start from a discussion of the algorithmic aspects of 
production, analysis, and storage for short-reads sequencing-data in a 
genomic research project. Along this path we will see what are the most 
established currently used computational tools, with some emphasis on 
some aspect in which we believe a deeper interaction between Computer 
Science and Biology would be most welcome. With this in mind, we will 
conclude with the description of an ongoing study on some intriguing 
combinatorial and computational problem suggested by the task of 
clustering data during (cancer-cell sub-population) analysis and 
classification. Some temporal aspect of this problem will be taken into 
account.
