Events for December 1 - October 13

  • W27: Systems biology of metabolism – workflows and resources for multi-omics data integration

    ZOOM CA, United States

    The application of omics (i.e., metabolomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics) has become greatly popular in the life sciences. These technologies unlock the investigation of metabolism across thousands of genes, proteins, and metabolites, and provide a holistic perspective on the system of interest. However, to gather a systems-level understanding of biological functions in health and disease, omics […]

  • W37: Applications of Large Language Models

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    This 3-day interactive workshop introduces the overarching principles guiding generative modeling and specifically Large-Scale Language Models (LLM), their application in Python for inference, and specific use-cases in Genomics. Experience with Python is necessary, and basic knowledge about ML workflows is preferred. At the end of this workshop, you WILL be comfortable with loading, inferencing and […]

  • W5a: RNA-seq I Analysis

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    RNA-seq I aims to provide an introduction and the basics tools to process raw RNA-seq data on a cluster machine (Hoffman2). The workshop can serve also as a starting point to develop a gene expression project. This workshop is divided in three days that will cover major steps of processing RNA-seq. To facilitate learning, the […]

  • W25: Population Genetics Modeling

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    In order to make inferences based on genomic data, it is useful to understand the evolutionary forces that underlie observed genetic variation. The field of population genetics offers theoretical tools to test predictions, gain intuition, and even generate training data for statistical and deep learning models. However, population genetics simulations have historically been slow and […]

  • Frontiers in Computational Biosciences Seminar Series: Yi Zhang, PhD, Assistant Professor, Neurosurgery and Biostatistics & Bioinformatics, Duke University

    Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles, CA, United States

    TITLE: "Interpretable machine learning methods to understand tissue heterogeneity using large-scale single-cell genomics and high-definition spatial transcriptomics” Watch recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCokAYrjf_TaziPtmn6l4-5A

  • W5b: RNA-Seq II Analysis

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    RNA-seq II aims to provide tools for analysis of gene expression data from read counts to biology using R. To facilitate learning, the workshop will use a real case study […]

  • W33: Electronic Health Records Analysis

    529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    UCLA Health serves well over half a million patients annually, and as a result, UCLA possesses a vast database of Electronic Health Records (EHR). The stemming Discovery Data Repository (DDR) […]
