QCBio/BIG Summer Research Seminar: Dr. Nandita Garud, Assistant Professor Assistant Professor, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, UCLA

Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles

TITLE: "Evolutionary dynamics in the human gut microbiome from infancy through adulthood." ABSTRACT: While the ecological dynamics of the infant gut microbiome have been intensely studied, relatively little is known about the evolutionary dynamics in the infant gut microbiome. Here we analyze longitudinal fecal metagenomic data from >700 infants and their mothers over the first […]

QCBio/BIG Summer Research Seminar: Dr. Harold Pimentel, Assistant Professor in Computational Medicine & Human Genetics, UCLA

Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles

TITLE: "Model driven design and analysis of functional screens" ABSTRACT: A little over a decade ago biomedicine was revolutionized by a conceptually simple insight: DNA sequencers could be used as molecular counting machines to measure a multitude of molecules beyond DNA. Through the years, sequencing has continued to become cheaper and more efficient (faster than […]

TITLE: "Universal annotation of the human genome through integration of over a thousand epigenomic datasets." ABSTRACT: Genome-wide maps of chromatin marks such as histone modifications and open chromatin sites provide valuable information for annotating the non-coding genome, including identifying regulatory elements. Computational approaches such as ChromHMM have been applied to discover and annotate chromatin states […]
