 ISMB ECCB Day 2 recap. Yesterday, I spent most of the day listening to talks about single cell analysis and networks. It started with a keynote by Dana Peer, who received the ISCB Innovator Award for her work on analysis of single cell data, especially pseudotrimed trajectories. She presented several interesting new methods, including cell rank 2, spectra and decipher. I then continued to NetBio, where I found a shortage of tool and resource presentations. However, the talks about Gemini, a method for integration of networks and Wraphit, a method for prediction of interaction networks, were the highlights for me. After that, I went to Bosch, hearing only part of the presentation about Spiles, a method for large-language model-based zero-shot information extraction, before rushing to the Elixir track, hearing a talk about string, new queries and functions. I then went to the poster session where poster A409 caught my eye. It showed how study buyers can cause the power law observed in many biological networks, thus explaining why it is so common.
