QCBio Research Seminar: Matthew Heffel (Luo), Graduate Student in Bioinformatics

ZOOM CA, United States

TITLE: "Multimodal Single-Cell Epigenomic Sequencing of the Developing Human Cerebral Cortex." ABSTRACT: Single cell epigenomic technologies allow the measurement of unique molecular signatures within cells, however cell type complexity remains highly enigmatic. Emerging methods have enabled multiple modalities of epigenomic sequencing to be gathered from the same cell. Single-nucleus methyl-3C sequencing (sn-m3C-seq) delivers the capacity to […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Chenghao (Trevor) Zhu (Boutros), Postdoc in Human Genetics

ZOOM CA, United States

TITLE: "moPepGen: a fast custom database generator from multi-omics data for proteogenomics." ABSTRACT: Cancers are driven by genomic variants such as SNV (single nucleotide variants) and INDEL, often accompanied by many transcriptional variants. Modern mass spectrometry based proteomics is able to identify and quantify peptides and proteins comprehensively, however the variant-harboring peptides that are absent […]

W28: Introduction to Phylogenetics

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

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 developments in molecuar biology and the exponential growth in annotated genetic sequences, novel directions and goals have been developed in this seemingly stagnant field. Phylogenetic […]

W15: Bacterial Genomics

529 Boyer Hall 611 Charles E Young Dr E,, Los Angeles, CA, United States

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, and workshop participants will try to reproduce the expected results. The workshop will start with detailed instructions on how to quality control the raw sequence […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Keunseok Park (Park), Grad Student, Chemical and Bimolecular Engineering

ZOOM CA, United States

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 thermodynamics. Stable isotope tracing and metabolic footprinting are widely used for inferring metabolic fluxes. However, quantitative flux measurement across broad metabolism remains challenging due to […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Heather Zhou (Li JJ), Graduate Student in Statistics

ZOOM CA, United States

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) analysis for improving the power of QTL identification. However, few benchmark studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy of the various methods developed for […]

QCBio Research Seminar: Yue Wang (Chou), Postdoc, Department of Computational Medicine

ZOOM CA, United States

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 that binds a specified target molecule with the highest affinity. There has been a deterministic model of SELEX, and we develop a fully discrete stochastic […]
