Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) firmly puts the Netherlands on the map of methods development for computational biology. At RECOMB 2014, the flagship conference for methods in computational biology, the institute presents no less than three of the 35 research papers. This makes CWI the biggest contributor to the conference, together with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The papers to which CWI contributes include the precise reconstruction of individual human genomes [1], a study of quasispecies in viruses [2] and a new technique for flux module detection [3]. RECOMB 2014 will be held from 2-5 April 2014 in Pittsburgh, USA.
