Reengineering the TCL Job Compiler

This presentation covers the concepts of functional genomics and the use of the TCL Job Compiler in genomics research. It includes an overview of the single-gene deletion strategy and the applications of functional genomics in discovering new vaccines, identifying causes of diseases, and understanding genetic structure and evolution.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Reengineering the TCL Job Compiler SEM49060 Project Talk Ben Tagger 8th May 2003

  2. Structure of Today’s Presentation • Introduction • Functional Genomics • Single-gene Deletion • The Robot Scientist • The TCL Job Compiler • Conclusion/Future

  3. Aims of the Talk • What was done • Why it was important to do it • How it was done

  4. Functional Genomics • Genomics can be split into 2 categories • Structural genomics • Functional genomics • Used for… • The discovery of new vaccines and drugs • Identification of causes of diseases • Understanding genetic structure and evolution • Establishing of common metabolic pathways

  5. Methods in Functional Genomics • Various Techniques • Pairwise Alignment • Expression Profiling • Proteomics • Single-gene Deletion • Auxotrophic experimentation using a single-gene deletion strategy.

  6. Single-gene Deletion • Used to identify the function of an unknown gene. • Auxotrophic mutant organisms • Grown in different growth solution • Establish responsible enzyme for particular pathway.

  7. An Example A Reaction R C B E G

  8. The Robot Scientist • 3 Parts • ASE-Progol • TCL Job Compiler • Biomek Robot Workstation • … together form the Robot Scientist

  9. ASE-Progol • Active Selection of Experiments with Progol. • Uses ILP to generate hypotheses • Selects experiments to eliminate these hypotheses • Composes Experiments for the Robot • Closed loop machine learning system

  10. In more detail… • Hypothesis Generation • Trial Generation • Classifier • Trial Selection • Termination

  11. Biomek Robot WorkStation • Beckman Coulter 2000 Workstation • Liquid handling station

  12. 1 2 3 4 5 6 A B Work Spaces • 12 locations – can be split up further
