Bora Uyar contributed “RNA-seq Analysis” chapter. Bora started his bioinformatics training in Sabanci University (Istanbul/Turkey), from where he got his undergraduate degree. Later, he obtained MSc from Simon Fraser University (Vancouver/Canada), then a PhD from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg/Germany. Since 2015, he has been working as a bioinformatics scientist at the Bioinformatics Platform of the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology. He has been contributing to the bioinformatics platform through research, collaborations, and services. His current primary research interest is the integration of multiple types of omics datasets to discover prognostic/diagnostic biomarkers of cancers.

Vedran Franke contributed “ChIP-seq Analysis” chapter. Vedran Franke received his PhD from University of Zagreb. His work focused on the biogenesis and function of small RNA molecules during early embryogenesis, and establishment of pluripotency. Prior to his PhD, he worked as a scientific researcher under Boris Lenhard in University of Bergen, Norway, focusing on principles of gene enhancer functions. He continues his research in the Bioinformatics and Omics Data Science Platform in Berlin Institute for Medical System Biology. He develops tools for multi-omics data integration, with the focus on single cell RNA sequencing, and epigenomics. His integrated knowledge of cellular physiology along with his proficiency in data analysis enables him to find creative solutions to difficult biological problems.

Jonathan Ronen contributed “Multi-omics Analysis” chapter. Jonathan got his MSc. in control engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2010. He then worked as a software developer in Oslo, Brussels, and Munich. During that time, he was also on the founding team of www.holderdeord.no, a website that links votes in the Norwegian parliament to pledges made in party manifestos. In 2014-2015, Jonathan worked as a data scientist in New York University’s Social Media and Political Participation lab. During that time, he also launched www.lahadam.co.il, a website which tracked Israeli politician’s facebook posts. Since 2015, Jonathan has been pursuing a PhD in computational biology, where he has published tools for preprocessing of RNA-seq data, imputation for single cell RNA-seq using priors, and integrative analysis of multi-omics data using deep learning.
