• Mastoras, M. (BMEB) – Polishing genome assemblies and leveraging their improved quality to study centromere variation

    Physical Sciences Building Physical Sciences Building, Santa Cruz, CA
    Hybrid Event

    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 […]

  • 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, […]
