    Malekos, E. (BMEB) – CRISPR screens of noncanonical ORFs uncover retroviral-derived immune regulators

    Biomedical Sciences Biomedical Sciences Building Red Hill Road, Santa Cruz, CA

    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 […]

    Statistics Seminar: Vecchia Approximated Bayesian Heteroskedastic Gaussian Processes

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    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, […]

    Heath, H. (BMEB) – Linking Altered mRNA Processing to Translational Regulation in Lung Cancer

    Biomedical Sciences Biomedical Sciences Building Red Hill Road, Santa Cruz, CA
    Hybrid Event

    In lung cancer, recurrent alterations in RNA processing regulators reshape both the proteins genes encode and the sequences that regulate their production. Understanding how mRNA processing influences protein production requires resolving the coding and regulatory sequences present in individual mRNA isoforms. Transcription start site (TSS) choice, alternative splicing (AS) , and polyadenylation site (PAS) choice […]
