SCANGEN: Single-Cell Cancer Genomics

Workshop at ISMB 2020

Summary

The second workshop on single-cell cancer genomics (SCANGEN) will take place virtually on Tuesday, July 14th 2pm-5.30pm ET at ISMB 2020. The workshop aims to cover computational and statistical methods, models, and applications in single-cell cancer genomics.

Contributed talks and posters are now closed.

Scope:

  • Modelling cancer evolution: phylogenetic inference from single-cell data; inference of evolutionary processes from single-cell data; identifying single-cell cancer signatures; inference of fitness from single-cell analysis of population dynamics
  • Integrative analyses of multi-modal data: modelling of joint measurement assays (such as G&T-seq); relating and interpreting measurements from different technologies
  • Scalable inference at the single-cell level: scalable statistical inference for single-cell data using methods such as stochastic optimization; computational tools for dealing with large single-cell datasets
  • Interactions and perturbations at the single-cell level: how cells interact with their microenvironment; how cells respond to and resist chemotherapeutic interventions; how transcriptional programming and clonal selection are affected by genomic perturbations such as CRISPR
