Bai, G. (BMEB) – Long-read single-molecule chromatin architecture and its role in transcriptome regulation
Biomedical Sciences Building 575 McLaughlin DriveHybrid EventSequencing technologies have revolutionized our understanding of biology, yet many existing methods require fragmentation of DNA or RNA, fundamentally limiting our ability to study these molecules in their native, intact forms. Long-read sequencing overcomes this constraint by enabling the sequencing of long, single-molecule native DNA and RNA, providing simultaneous access to both sequence and base […]

Lucas, J. (BMEB) – Enabling Population-Scale Analysis of Human Centromere Diversity
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAHybrid EventCentromeric DNA is critical for accurate chromosome segregation and genome stability, but due to its repetitive nature, it was only recently fully included in a human reference. Rapid evolution and sequence diversity in these regions limit the utility of one reference sequence, however. Integrating centromeric and pericentromeric satellite DNA – which together constitute over 5% […]

CSE Colloquium – Safety Alignment of LMs via Non-cooperative Games
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAPresenter: Arman Zharmagambetov, Meta Abstract: Ensuring the safety of language models (LMs) while maintaining their usefulness remains a critical challenge in AI alignment. Current approaches rely on sequential adversarial training: generating adversarial (harmful) prompts and fine-tuning LMs to defend against them. We introduce a different paradigm: framing safety alignment as a non-zero-sum game between an […]
