Using And Extending Biomedical Ontologies With Ontoproc**

Using And Extending Biomedical Ontologies With Ontoproc** Author(s): Vincent James Carey, Sara Stankiewicz Affiliation(s): Harvard Medical School An ontology, as studied in information science, is a formalization of a conceptual domain. A typical ontology consists of a controlled vocabulary including term definitions, and a system of relationships among terms and concepts to which these terms are associated. The ontoProc package addresses the ingestion, visualization, and manipulation of basic biomedical ontologies.

SpatialOmicsOverlay: Overlay of Structurally Profiled Regions of Interest on GeoMx DSP Tissue Images*** Author(s): Maddy Griswold, David Allen Henderson, Nicole Ortogero Affiliation(s): NanoString Technologies Spatial biology is changing the way we view biology. We can now look at a tissue in terms of compartments such as cells, tissue structure, or disease state. Compartments are selected on a tissue image by a scientist or pathologist but then that image is not typically used after compartment selection.

SEESAW: Statistical Estimation Of Allelic Expression Using Salmon And Swish**

SEESAW: Statistical Estimation Of Allelic Expression Using Salmon And Swish** Author(s): Euphy Wu, Noor Pratap Singh, Mohsen Zakeri, Rob Patro, Michael I Love Affiliation(s): UNC-Chapel Hill Twitter: @mikelove There are a number of existing bioinformatic pipelines for assessing allelic imbalance of expression. These often consist of genomic alignment of RNA-seq reads, removal of multi-mapping bias, counting of reference and alternate alleles, statistical inference on the allelic ratio: null hypothesis testing of the ratio representing balanced expression of the two alleles.

Nullranges: Modular Workflow For Overlap Enrichment**

Nullranges: Modular Workflow For Overlap Enrichment** Author(s): Wancen Mu, Eric Scott Davis, Mikhail Dozmorov, Stuart Lee, Michael I Love, Douglas Phanstiel Affiliation(s): University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill There are many well-established packages for overlap enrichment in R/Bioconductor. These can be used to establish if two sets of genomic ranges are distributed closer to each other than expected under a particular null hypothesis. In this software demo we will focus on two branches of specification of null hypothesis for distribution of genomic ranges, where we find it is beneficial to separate generation of null ranges from the enrichment analysis steps.

Identifying Differentially Methylated Genomic Regions With Comethdmr**

Identifying Differentially Methylated Genomic Regions With Comethdmr** Author(s): Gabriel J. Odom, Lissette Gomez, Tiago Chedraoui Silva, Ingrid Gonzalez, Suky Martinez, Jermaine Jones, Lily Wang Affiliation(s): Florida International University, The University of Miami Twitter: @RevDocGabriel Because of the complex interdependencies inherent in epigenomics data, identifying differentially methylated regions (DMRs) remains a challenging task. However, many current methods of DMR detection focus on finding regions with a few highly significant differentially methylated CpGs, thereby failing to detect regions with small but pervasive differential methylation patterns.

Genomicsupersignature: Interpretation Of RNA-Seq Experiments Through Robust, Efficient Comparison To Public Databases** Author(s): Sehyun Oh, Levi Waldron, Sean Davis Affiliation(s): City University of New York Twitter: @drsehyun Millions of transcriptomic profiles have been deposited in public archives, yet remain underused for the interpretation of new experiments. We develop a novel method for interpreting new transcriptomic datasets through near-instantaneous comparison to public archives without high-performance computing requirements. Through the pre-computed index, users can identify public resources associated with their datasets such as literatures, gene sets, and MeSH terms.
