W13: Genetic Analysis (VCF-Plink)
529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United StatesHigh-throughput sequencing technologies have allowed researchers to extract DNA at the individual, population, and species levels. In this workshop, students will learn how to analyze and interpret population-level genetic information with PLINK and R. Students will also be exposed to the literature on the different topics, followed by hands-on exercises and paper discussion.
QCBio Special Evening Lecture: Dr. Michael Elowitz, Assistant Adjunct Professor, Biological Chemistry, UCLA
Boyer Hall 159TITLE: "Designing synthetic circuits for biological understanding and therapeutic applications"
Research-in-Progress (RIP) Seminar: Jonathan Mah (Garud-Lohmueller), Graduate Student in Bioinformatics Interdepartmental Program
Boyer Hall 159TITLE: "Inference of the demographic histories and selective effects of human gut commensal microbiota over the course of human history" ABSTRACT: Despite the importance of gut commensal microbiota to human health, there is little knowledge about their evolutionary histories, including their demographic histories and distributions of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations. Here, we infer the […]
