Scientific breakthroughs from genome-sequencing projects brought the realization that reliable interpretation of the resulting information makes unprecedented demands for contemporaneous advances in computation and statistics. As the complexity of genomic data sets drives innovative research in data analysis methodology, the new Statistical Inference and Computation in Genomics (Statomics) Lab of the Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology attacks statistical and computational problems of importance to human health. The lab is presently developing novel methods for the analysis of transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and SNP-chip data.
The word statomics abbreviates statistical inference and computation in genomics. David Bickel launched the Statomics Lab in June of 2007 at the Ottawa Institute of Systems Biology. The statomics.com website is not affiliated with the University of Ottawa.
