University seminar "Horizons of Science Disciplines", March 19, 2026
The Center for Advanced Studies at Warsaw University of Technology invites you to the university-wide scientific seminar Horizons of Scientific Disciplines .
The seminar aims to showcase the achievements of teams representing specific scientific disciplines at Warsaw University of Technology. The planned meeting, focused on technical computer science and telecommunications, titled " Bioinformatics Analysis of DNA Sequencing Data ," will feature a lecture by Dr. Wiktor Kuśmirek (FEiTI, WUT), moderated by Prof. Jarosław Arabas (FEiTI, WUT).
This presentation will focus on the bioinformatics analysis of DNA sequencing data, with a particular emphasis on de novo assembly. The speaker will present the essence of genome reconstruction based on short and long reads. He will also discuss selected algorithms used to accomplish this task. Differences between sequencing technologies and their impact on subsequent analysis steps will be presented. Key data processing processes, such as quality control, mapping, and assembly accuracy assessment, will be discussed. Examples of the use of sequence data in scientific projects and biomedical research, including the diagnosis of rare diseases, will also be presented. Finally, prospects for the further development of bioinformatics methods and their applications in the biological sciences will be discussed.
The online meeting will take place on March 19, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. on the TEAMS platform .
