QCBio Research Seminar: Mariana Harris Heredia (Garud), Grad student in Biomathematics

Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles, CA, United States

TITLE: "Differences in the Signatures of Selection Between the Autosomes and the X Chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster." ABSTRACT: Sex chromosomes in Drosophila are found in a hemizygous state in males. Thus, deleterious mutations may be purged more rapidly on the X chromosome than on the autosomes. This purging can result in less available standing variation that can seed […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Guo Xiaohui (Pinter-Wollman), Postdoc in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology

Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles, CA, United States

TITLE: "Decoding alarm signal propagation of seed-harvester ants, Pogonomyrmex californicus." ABSTRACT: Alarm signal propagation through social-insect colonies provides an empirically tractable context for analyzing information flow through a natural system, with useful insights for network dynamics in other social groups, including human social networks. Here, I develop a methodological approach to track alarm spread within […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Chloe Yap (Gandal), Visiting Graduate Student, University of Queensland

Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles, CA, United States

TITLE: "Restricted diet drives autism gut-microbiome associations, and other tales from the Australian Autism Biobank" ABSTRACT: The Australian Autism Biobank (AAB) is an initiative of the Autism CRC – the first national, cooperative research effort focused on autism across the lifespan. The AAB recruited a total of ~2,500 autistic children, family members, and unrelated undiagnosed […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Paheli Desai-Chowdhry (Savage), Grad student in Biomathematics

Boyer 159 611 Charles E. Young Dr. E., Los Angeles, CA, United States

TITLE: "Asymmetric Branching Scale Factors as Features in Neuronal Cell-Type Classification" ABSTRACT: Neurons are connected by complex branching processes - axons and dendrites - that process information for organisms to respond to their environment. Classifying neurons according to differences in structure or function is a fundamental piece of neuroscience. In previous work, we constructed a […]
