TITLE: “Learning cellular state and dynamics in single cell genomics” Hosted by Jessica Li
TITLE: "scAllele, a versatile tool for the detection and analysis of variants in scRNA-seq." ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data contain rich information at the gene, transcript, and nucleotide levels. […]
TITLE: "AutoComplete: Deep Learning-based Phenotype Imputation" ABSTRACT: Health data has become increasingly available, vast in scale, and highly missing. For many downstream applications, the ability to accurately impute missing features […]
“Regulating Insurer Use of Genetic Information” Hosted by Christina Palmer
TITLE: "A pan-cancer multi-omic analysis of tumor proliferation." ABSTRACT: The underlying mechanisms of dysregulated cellular proliferation in cancer remain unclear; however, it is hypothesized that specific mutations, mutational signatures, evolutionary trajectories and other global (epi)genomic features may be linked to differing rates of proliferation. In this presentation, I will showcase a landscape analysis of cellular proliferation […]
TITLE: "Ecological Stability Emerges at the Level of Strains in the Human Gut Microbiome." ABSTRACT: The human gut microbiome is a complex community that harbors substantial ecological diversity at the species level, as well as at the strain level within species. In healthy hosts, species abundance fluctuations in the microbiome community are thought to be […]
“Population genetics in an era of genomic health” Hosted by Christa Caggiano
