Events for February 2, 2022 - November 10, 2021

  • Developmental Systems Biology Faculty Search – MCDB | QCBio | BSCRC Seminar: Michael F. Wells, PhD, Broad Institute & Harvard University, Cambridge, MA

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "Exploration of human genetic and phenotypic diversity through cell villages" ABSTRACT: Our species is characterized by an immense diversity in neurological and psychological traits. Common and rare genetic variants have been linked to trait differences and disease risk in human populations, though the underlying biology is poorly understood and difficult to study at large scales. […]

  • Developmental Systems Biology Faculty Search – MCDB | QCBio | BSCRC Seminar: Amjad Askary, PhD, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "Imaging-based genetic recording of developmental histories" ABSTRACT: Systems-level understanding of cell fate decisions has been hampered by limitations of the existing methods to capture developmental history of the cells. Synthetic recording, which uses genome editing to create sequence diversity in genetic barcodes, is emerging as a promising approach for mapping cell lineage and molecular history. […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Tevfik Umut Dincer (Ernst)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "Genomewide supervised prediction of activating and repressive regions in over hundred cell and tissue types" ABSTRACT: While the vast majority of variants associated with common disease risk are distributed […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Iris Dror (Plath)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "XIST controls X chromosome dampening and autosomal genes in early human development" ABSTRACT: Female human pre-implantation embryos and naïve human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) equalize X-linked gene expression with males […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Ariel Wu (Sankararaman)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "Fast estimation of genetic correlation for Biobank-scale data" ABSTRACT: Genetic correlation is an important parameter in understanding the shared genetic basis across pairs of complex traits with applications ranging across […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Diane Lefaudeux (Hoffmann)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "Determining mRNA nuclear export kinetics reveals a wide range of values associated with innate immune response genes" ABSTRACT: The abundance and stimulus-responsiveness of mature mRNA is known to be […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Lingyun (Ivy) Xiong (Garfinkel)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: "Oncogenic alterations in the p53 pathway abolish oscillatory competence" ABSTRACT: The tumor suppressor p53 displays concentration oscillations in response to DNA damage, a behavior that has been suggested to […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Marcus Gallagher-Jones (Rodriguez)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: Structural interrogation of small open reading frame (sORF) encoded proteins ABSTRACT: Advances in genomics and proteomics have unearthed sequences of a startling number of novel proteins. Despite this, our knowledge […]

    ZOOM CA, United States

    Swab-Seq: Massively scaling SARS-CoV-2 testing using genomic sequencing. The COVID-19 Basic, Translational and Clinical Research Task Forces has created a seminar series each Friday at noon. The purpose of these seminars is to bring together […]

  • QCBio Research Seminar: Nicolas Rochette (Campbell-Staton)

    ZOOM CA, United States

    TITLE: Cis-regulatory divergence between highland and lowland deer mice populations highlight the essential role of pleiotropic genes for high-altitude adaptation. ABSTRACT: Variation in gene expression regulation contributes extensively to phenotypic […]
