Associate Dean for the Humanities, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor “TBD: History of genetic counseling” Hosted by Christina Palmer

TITLE: "Sources of zeros in single-cell RNA-seq data and how they affect data analysis." ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies have revolutionized biomedical sciences by enabling genome-wide profiling of gene expression levels at an unprecedented single-cell resolution. A distinct characteristic of scRNA-seq data is the vast proportion of zeros unseen in bulk RNA-seq data. Researchers […]

TITLE: "Advancing admixture graph estimation via maximum likelihood network orientation." ABSTRACT: Admixture, the interbreeding between previously distinct populations, is a pervasive force in evolution. The evolutionary history of populations in the presence of admixture can be modeled by augmenting phylogenetic trees with additional nodes that represent admixture events. However, these admixture graphs present formidable inferential challenges. Exhaustively evaluating all […]
