Abstract: The University of Tennessee (UT) and the Kentucky Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (KBRIN) have collaborated over the past thirteen years to share research and educational expertise in bioinformatics.One result is an annual regional summit for researchers, educators and students interested in bioinformatics.The Thirteenth Annual UT-KBRIN Bioinformatics Summit was held at Lake Barkley State Park in Cadiz, Kentucky on April 11-13, 2014.A total of 172 participants pre-registered, with 104 from Tennessee and 61 from Kentucky.Among the registrants were 69 faculty, 45 students, 38 staff, and 20 postdocs.The conference program consisted of a workshop on Cytoscape and three days of presentations broken into plenary sessions on Genetic Variation and Mutational Analysis, Genomics, and P4 Systems Biology.Nine short talks were selected from 51 submitted poster abstracts. Friday workshopsKeiichiro Ono (UCSD) opened the Summit with the workshop "PART I: Introduction to Cytoscape: an Open Source Platform for Biological Network Data Analysis and Visualization."He provided a description of the basic UI, methods for importing and exporting data, and methods for highlighting and exploring information in a biological network [1-3].Keiichiro discussed methods for importing publicly available databases with a network structure, such as STRING [4], IntAct [5], BioGRID [6], ChEMBL [7], KEGG [8], Reactome [9], WikiPathways [10], and PathwayCommons [11].Keiichiro presented a number of commands for simplifying networks, including selecting first neighbors of a node, creation of a subgraph, and filtering based on node and edge attributes.He also demonstrated tools for highlighting
