DESCRIPTION:Understanding of Plant Adaptation to Different Environment Conditions \nBing CHENG \nAbstract: \nClimate change is threatening many agricultural regions around the globe. Plants are sessile organisms and migrate to more prosperous habitat. How do they approach this is an open question in plant science. This presentation will cover our recent studies exploiting plant phenotypic and genomic information\, to demonstrate how their deployment can help agriculture withstands climate change responsibly and sustainably. Results from these studies will provide insights into the genetic adaptation of plants in a wider range of available future environments. \nShort Bio: \nIn 2019\, Bing gained her PhD degree from The University of Queensland\, Australia under the supervision of Prof. R. Henry. She focused on the genetic improvement of coffee quality through comparative genomics and transcriptomics. She has published the first long-read reference transcriptome for Arabica coffee bean and identified candidate genes regulating essential chemical accumulation during bean ripening. Currently\, Bing Cheng is a postdoctoral fellow from the Crop Production and Biostimulation Laboratory (CPBL) at the Interfaculatry School of Bioengineers\, ULB\, under the guidance of Prof C. Hermans. She is exploiting the natural variability of the model (Arabidopsis) and crop (oilseed rape) species to decipher genetic bases of resource use efficiency\, using genome-wide association studies and global transcriptome analysis. \nAbout CPBL: \nThe Crop Nutrition unit at CPBL focuses on improving resource use efficiency of crops to ensure food security and environmental quality. A considerable fraction of fertilizer to sustain plant biomass production gets lost as runoffs with detrimental consequences to the environment and human health. Faced with those pressing societal costs\, modern agriculture must make a step change to produce biomass with less input. The unit develops synergistic activities in the laboratory\, natural habitat and field environments to identify plant characteristics for improving the resilience of agricultural production. \nThe core research theme developed at CPBL is on the environmentally sustainable intensification of the agricultural system. Research developed by the host group is interdisciplinary and aims at (i) identifying crop characteristics for improving resilience of agricultural production while limiting the environmental footprint\, (ii) providing breeders with selection criteria (including molecular and genomic tools) to develop new crop varieties\, (iii) developing and evaluating methods (in lab and field environments) for performance testing of these varieties.

SUMMARY:Seminar Predicting Protein and RNA Structures via data inference
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Schug\nJohn von Neumann Institute for Computing\, Jülich Supercomputer Centre\, Forschungszentrum Jülich\nFaculty of Biology\, University of Duisburg-Essen \nPredicting Protein and RNA Structures via data inference \nOn the molecular level\, life is orchestrated through an interplay of many biomolecules. To gain any detailed understanding of biomolecular function\, one needs to know their structure. Yet the structural characterization of many important biomolecules and their complexes – typically preceding any detailed mechanistic exploration of their function- remains experimentally challenging. Tools rooted in statistical physics such as Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) but also increasingly Machine Learning driven approaches take advantage of the explosive growth of sequence databases and infer residue co-evolution to guide structure prediction methods via spatial constraints. Going beyond anecdotal cases of a few protein families\, systematic large-scale studies of >1000 protein families are now possible and other information\, such as low-resolution experimental information from\, e.g. SAXS or FRET \, can be used as further constraints in simulations.

SUMMARY:Seminar Tomas Brazdil - Pushing the limits in automated NMR structure determination
DESCRIPTION:Pushing the limits in automated NMR structure determination \nTomas Brazdil (Masaryk University)  \nNuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a technique for determining the structural and dynamic properties of molecules. NMR spectroscopy generates complex data whose analysis is a laborious task and the road to NMR structure is generally a long one. Our starting point is the 4D-CHAINS algorithm that performs a fully automated assignment of  chemical shifts based on 4D TOCSY and 4D NOESY spectra. We propose to perform the assignment task using solely the 4D NOESY spectrum. Since Rosetta software can deliver accurate structures from a sparse network of distance constraints extracted from the NOESY spectrum\, our approach promises to crack the atomic structures of large proteins in a single step. To solve the assignment problem\, we utilize both machine learning as well as elementary graph theoretic methods. Machine learning techniques are used to train models for the amino acid and atom type prediction from a given set of chemical shifts. To overcome relative scarcity of 4D-NOESY data\, we employ large amounts of chemical shifts deposited in Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank by human experts. The trained models are subsequently incorporated into an algorithm that assigns the corresponding sets of chemical shifts to amino acid residues of a given protein. In my talk\, I will describe the core pipeline\, explain the main difficulties and demonstrate the functionality of the current version which is still under development.

SUMMARY:Seminar Isel Grau - An interpretable semi-supervised classifier with bioinformatics applications
DESCRIPTION:An interpretable semi-supervised classifier with bioinformatics applications. \nIsel Grau (VUB) \nIn the context of medical or bioinformatic applications of machine learning\, obtaining data instances is a relatively easy process but labeling them could become quite expensive or tedious. Such scenarios lead to datasets with few labeled instances and a larger number of unlabeled ones. Semi-supervised classification techniques combine labeled and unlabeled data during the learning phase in order to increase classifier’s generalization capability. Regrettably\, most successful semi-supervised classifiers do not allow explaining their outcome\, thus behaving like black boxes. However\, experts in the bioinformatics and medical domains demand a clear understanding of the decision process in order to trust the results of the machine learning algorithms. We present an interpretable self-labeling grey-box classifier that uses a black box to estimate the missing class labels and a white box to make the final predictions. We propose two different approaches for amending the self-labeling process: a first one based on the confidence of the black box and the latter one based on measures from Rough Set Theory. With this approach we aim to achieve interpretability by means of transparency and simplicity\, while attaining superior prediction rates when compared with most prominent self-labeling classifiers reported in the literature. We will show our preliminary results on two case studies: the prediction of early folding in proteins and the classification of pathogenicity of Brugada Syndrome variants.
