Xu, D. (BMEB) – Interplay Between CENP-A, DNA Methylation, and H3K9me3 in Defining Centromere Identity
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventCentromeres ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division, yet the organization and regulation of centromeric chromatin within satellite DNA arrays remain incompletely understood.

Okamoto, F. (BMEB) – Improving read-to-pangenome alignment in complicated genomic regions
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventMany genetics pipelines start by aligning sequencing reads to a reference genome. Aligners attempt to find the position in the reference sequence which best matches the read sequence, but this breaks down when the reads come from a sample with variation relative to the reference. A proposed alternative, pangenome graphs, is supposed to fix such […]
