Introduction The 6th International Workshop on Computational Network Biology: Modeling, Analysis, and Control (CNBMAC 2019) was held in Niagara Falls, New York, on September 7, 2019. The workshop was organized in conjunction with the 10th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB), the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio. The CNB-MAC workshop aims to provide an international scientific forum for presenting recent advances in computational network biology that involve modeling, analysis, and control of biological systems and systemoriented analysis of large-scale OMICS data. CNB-MAC 2019 was co-chaired by Drs. Byung-Jun Yoon, Xiaoning Qian, Tamer Kahveci, and Ranadip Pal. The workshop featured original research papers [1–10], a highlight presentation of a recently published journal paper [11], and poster presentations [12, 13], which were selected by the workshop chairs based on the reviews performed by the technical committee members. Reports from previous CNB-MAC workshops are available at [14–16]. Thanks to the generous support provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Student Travel Grants have been awarded to student authors of outstanding * Correspondence: [email protected] 1 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA 2 TEES-AgriLife Center for Bioinformatics and Genomic Systems Engineering (CBGSE), College Station, TX 77845, USA Full list of author information is available at the end of the article
research papers and posters that have been invited for presentation at CNB-MAC 2019. The Travel Grants have also supported several minority students who do not have a presentation at the workshop, in order to promote diversity. Dr. Ranadip Pal served as the award chair for CNB-MAC 2019. Seventeen awardees were selected by the award committee after a careful review of the applications and the submitted work.
Research papers presented at CNB-MAC 2019 After the workshop, ten original research papers [1–10] were accepted for publication in the CNB-MAC 2019 partner journals: BMC Bioinformatics and BMC Genomics. In the following we provide a brief summary of these selected papers. Haplotypes, the ordered lists of single nucleotide variations that distinguish chromosomal sequences from their homologous pairs, may reveal an individual’s susceptibility to hereditary and complex diseases and affect how our bodies respond to therapeutic drugs. Reconstructing haplotypes of an individual from short sequencing reads is an NP-hard problem that becomes even more challenging in the case of polyploids. While increasing
