During my career I have worked on several projects creating software (FASTLINK, CASPAR, rh_tsp_map, PedHunter, etc.) and a database (Anabaptist Genealogy database) for genetic studies. My association with this software and a past track record of effective collaboration with wet lab scientists leads to more and more such collaborations. In 2018, I was given the opportunity to do a lateral transfer to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and to focus the rest of my career on cancer genomics. The transfer happened on October 28, 2018, so this report accounts formally for the period from July 30, 2018 (date when I wrote my 2018 report) through October 27, 2018. To keep my professional commitments and for the mutual benefit of NLM and NCI, it was agreed that: I would continue to maintain the Anabaptist Genealogy database I would try to finish a specific list of projects that I had started at NCBI/NLM and If papers from those projects were finished, I would list both NCBI/NLM and NCI affiliations There are three papers accepted for publication July 30, 2018 that fall under this project and the transfer agreement and in which the NLM funding during July 30-October 27,2018 should be recognized: Lei Hi, Lyu B, Gertz EM, Schaffer AA, Shi X, Wu K, Li G, Xu L, Hou Y, Dean M, Schwartz R: Tumor Copy Number Deconvolution Integrating Bulk and Single-Cell Sequencing Data (conference version) in Proceedinsg of the 23rd Annual International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB), Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics volume 11467, pp. 174--189, 2019; (journal version) invited and accepted to a special issue of Journal of Computational Biology.
