Computomics

Dr. Sebastian J. Schultheiss, Managing Director of Computomics, founded Computomics together with a very experienced board of scientific advisors from ETH Zurich, Max Planck Institute for Biology and the University of Tübingen. Sebastian studied Bioinformatics at University of Michigan and Tübingen. He worked on Machine Learning research and its application to biological data for his PhD degree at the Max Planck Institute for Biology and the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory. He brings startup experience, bioinformatics skills and machine learning expertise to Computomics.

Computomics brings superior prediction accuracy and unprecedented integration of phenotyping, genotyping, management, and environmental data to agriculture, enabling its clients to produce stable, value-added crops.

 

Webinar Syllabus:

Machine Learning or AI can include dominance, epistasis, and there is no restrictions on the dimensionality of the interactions. It has been successfully applied across many industries and we show how it’s possible to benefit from it in plant breeding with a breeder-centered approach to combine or complement the advantages of machine learning.

Genomic Prediction with its linear mixed models has proven to be a very successful tool for breeding of a variety of crops. The assumptions made by these methods, for instance that the effects of markers or environmental covariates is equal, are a shortcut and not biologically true.

Key topics include the identification of the most useful environmental datasets, the determination of optimal or prediction of future environments, the necessary datasets to get started, and current success cases and studies using machine learning methods.
