Contemporary drug-drug interactions  (DDIs)  research offers a  clinically impactful opportunity to identify  DDIs prior  to their occurrence;  however,  the clinical utility of current  DDI  identification systems have,  to date,  been greatly limited by the inability to accurately and concisely identify their pathway of interaction for the vast lists of identified computationally and clinically valid DDIs.

Malaria kills nearly one-half million people a year and over 1 billion people are at risk of becoming infected by the parasite. Plasmodial infections are difficult to treat for a myriad of reasons, but the ability of the organism to remain latent in hosts and the complex life cycles greatly contributed to the difficulty in treat malaria.

Biological knowledge is widely represented in the form of ontology-based annotations: ontologies describe the phenomena assumed to exist within a domain, and the annotations associate a biological entity with a set of phenomena within the domain.

Recent advances in genome editing and metabolic engineering enabled a precise construction of de novo biosynthesis pathways for high-value natural products. One important design decision to make for the engineering of heterologous biosynthesis systems is concerned with which foreign metabolic genes to introduce into a given host organism.

The aim of the tutorial is to introduce recent advances in using biomedical ontologies for data analysis, in particular for the interpretation of personal genome data and identifying causal variants underlying a phenotype or disease.
