Phylogenetics – the reconstruction of the evolutionary history of a the variety of species known to us, is among the most fundamental and traditional tasks in Biology. With the dramatic […]
The workshop will mainly focus on teaching the fundamentals of bacterial genomics and basic bioinformatics analysis. As a sample data Vibrio cholerae genome will be used as the practice dataset, […]
TITLE: "G-Flux: a metabolic flux and free energy analysis software for interpreting 13C, 2H, 18O, and 15N isotope tracing data." ABSTRACT: Metabolic fluxes offer insights into pathway utilization, kinetics, and […]
TITLE: "PCA outperforms popular hidden variable inference methods for QTL mapping." ABSTRACT: Estimating and accounting for hidden variables is widely practiced as an important step in quantitative trait locus (QTL) […]
TITLE: "Stochastic Model and Optimization of SELEX." ABSTRACT: Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment (SELEX) is a process to select the best aptamer sequence in a huge aptamer library […]
TITLE: "Tensor Factorization for Interpreting the Mechanisms of MRSA Persistence." ABSTRACT: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria is an increasingly common and life-threatening infection. While some antibiotics resolve MRSA infections in […]
TITLE: "Baseline MEthylation Patterns prior to flu vaccination." ABSTRACT: Influenza affects millions worldwide each year with responses varying from individual to individual. Influenza can be broken down into subtypes specifically H1N1, […]
TITLE: "Universal annotation of the human genome through integration of over a thousand epigenomic datasets." ABSTRACT: Genome-wide maps of chromatin marks such as histone modifications and open chromatin sites provide […]
TITLE: "Model driven design and analysis of functional screens" ABSTRACT: A little over a decade ago biomedicine was revolutionized by a conceptually simple insight: DNA sequencers could be used as […]
TITLE: "Evolutionary dynamics in the human gut microbiome from infancy through adulthood." ABSTRACT: While the ecological dynamics of the infant gut microbiome have been intensely studied, relatively little is known […]
