Math-Bio seminar: "Decoding of pairwise coalescent times and detection of recent adaptation in biobank-scale SNP array data sets"
Pier Francesco Palamara (Harvard School of Public Health)
Coalescent hidden Markov models (HMM) such as the pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent (PSMC, Li and Durbin, 2010) enable estimating the locus-specific posterior distribution of the time to most recent common…
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Geometry, frustration and force production in bacterial biopolymers"
Ajay Gopinathan (University of California, Merced)
Filamentous biopolymers in bacteria are involved in a variety of critical processes including templating cell growth, segregating genetic material and force production during motility and cell division. In this talk…
Math-Bio seminar: "Mutations, genetic identity, and data granularity"
Jun Li (University of Michigan)
I will talk about two studies where new insights are gained after we work on a different level of data granularity. First, in collaboration with Sebastian Zoellner we analyzed ~36 million extremely rare variants…
