Presented by: Kaushik Rajashekara, Hugh Roy and Lillie Cranz Cullen Distinguished University Professor @ University of Houston Description: “Autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs) are at the forefront of modern transportation, merging automation with sustainability to enhance efficiency and safety while reducing environmental impact. However, these vehicles face significant challenges in balancing the energy demands of autonomous compute […]
A complete and accurate genome reconstruction serves as the foundation for studying an organism’s biology and the mechanisms underlying disease. It is particularly critical for reference genomes, which provide a universal coordinate system for downstream genomic analysis. Errors or missing sequences in a reference genome create bias in all of the studies built on top […]
Ribosome profiling has revealed thousands of noncanonical translation events across mammalian genomes, yet functional characterization has overwhelmingly focused on proliferative fitness in cancer cell lines. Here, we present a comprehensive survey of noncanonical translation in the mouse immune system and its functional consequences in macrophages. By performing a unified Ribo-seq meta-analysis across 20 public mouse […]

Presenter: Parul Patil, Postdoctoral Researcher, UC Santa Cruz Description: Many computer simulations are stochastic and exhibit input dependent noise. In such situations, heteroskedastic Gaussian processes (hetGPs) make ideal surrogates as they estimate a latent, non-constant variance. However, existing hetGP implementations are unable to deal with large simulation campaigns and use point-estimates for all unknown quantities, […]

Title of Talk 1: Enabling Population-Scale Analysis of Human Centromere Diversity Presenter 1: Julian Lucas, Graduate Student in Miga Lab, University of California, Santa Cruz Description: Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation, yet their repetitive DNA has long been a blind spot in human genomics. Until recently, they were largely missing from reference genomes, and […]
