Algorithmic Challenges of High Throughput Sequencing

New sequencing technologies are creating vast quantities of DNA data, and presenting biomedical scientists with new approaches to their research questions. The data and these questions are posing dramatic challenges for computational researchers, where breakthroughs are required to keep pace with the rate of change of biomedical technologies. Using two of NICTA's current algorithmic research projects as examples - in DNA storage and sequence assembly - this talk is an examination of bioinformatic computational challenges and some of the roles that algorithmic research can have in biomedical science.
