In silico prioritization of undiscovered associations can help find causal genes of newly discovered diseases. Some existing methods are based on known associations and side information of diseases and genes. We exploit the possibility of using a neural network model, Neural Inductive Matrix Completion (NIMC) in disease-gene prediction.

We are now in the fourth paradigm of science: Data Science. The massive amount of structured and unstructured data has posed new challenges and opportunities to the fields of computer science and statistics. Traditional computational and statistical methods for data storage, curation, sharing, querying, updating, visualization, analysis, and privacy have been shown to fail in the big data scenario due to the unprecedented volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value of the big data. This conference will bring together a number of prominent researchers in Computer Science and Statistics with common interests and active research in big data, as well as the researchers at KAUST who regularly generate or face big data, such as those in bioscience and red sea research.

Growth phenotype profiling of genome-wide gene-deletion strains overstresses conditions can offer a clear picture that the essentiality of genes depends on environmental conditions. In this dissertation, we first demonstrate that detecting such "co-fit" gene groups can be cast as a less well-studied problem in biclustering, i.e., constant-column biclustering. Despite significant advances in biclustering techniques, very few were designed for mining in growth phenotype data.
