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 […]
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 […]
TITLE: "scPNMF: sparse gene encoding of single cells to facilitate gene selection for targeted gene profiling." ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) captures whole transcriptome information of individual cells. While scRNA-seq […]
TITLE: "A state space model to characterize the phenotypic variation in a panel of drug treatment time course experiments." ABSTRACT: As new technologies enable high throughput collection of marker measurements […]
TITLE: The evolution and co-evolution of PRDM9 across vertebrates ABSTRACT: In sexually reproducing organisms, meiotic recombination is initiated by the deliberate infliction of numerous double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the genome, […]
TITLE: "Linking exposure dose to infectious disease development using mechanistic models" (using SARS-CoV-2 in a mouse model as an illustration) ABSTRACT: Disease development after exposure to a pathogen does not follow […]
TITLE: “Inferring positive selection in the human gut microbiome using signatures of genetic linkage.” ABSTRACT: The human gut microbiome is composed of hundreds of simultaneously evolving species that can affect human […]
TITLE: "Quantifying response-specificity to diverse immune threats from single cell transcriptomes" ABSTRACT: Innate immune sentinel cells such as macrophages upregulate over a thousand genes in the minutes to hours following an […]
TITLE: "Efficient variance components analysis across millions of genomes." ABSTRACT: While variance components analysis has emerged as a powerful tool in complex trait genetics, existing methods for fitting variance components do […]
TITLE: "Asymptotic-Numerical Method For Cell Focusing in Microfluidic Channel." ABSTRACT: Inertial microfluidic devices use inertial lift forces to organize the spacing and positions of cells carried by flow. A hybrid […]
