Presenter: Chen-Hsiang Yeang, Associate Research Fellow, Institute of Statistical Science of Academia Sinica Description: Computational models are roughly categorized into two types: describing the patterns of the phenomenon or data (description-driven models) and explaining the phenomenon or data with simpler, comprehensible rules (explanation-driven models). When building a model, the choice of the mixture ingredients of […]
On Friday, October 24th from 2-3:00pm, on Zoom, join the Science & Justice Research Center for an Informational Meeting on our internationally recognized interdisciplinary Graduate Training and Certificate Program.
Presenter: Tjitse (TJ) van der Molen, Ph.D. (Postdoc, Sharf Lab, UC Santa Cruz and PhD Kosik Lab, UC Santa Barbara) Description: Neuronal firing sequences are thought to be the building blocks of information and broadcasting within the brain. Yet, it remains unclear when these sequences emerge during neurodevelopment. Here we demonstrate that structured firing sequences […]
Presenter 1: Anne Nakamoto, BME PhD Candidate, Corbett-Detig Lab, UC Santa Cruz Talk: Investigating deleterious mutation burden across populations and landscapes in the California Conservation Genomics Project Description: Biodiversity is being lost at an accelerated rate due in part to anthropogenic forces, posing a threat to the sustainability of Earth’s ecosystems as well as to human […]
The United Nations (UN) and the Baskin School of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, are collaborating to bring the “Reboot the Earth” hackathon to the West Coast for the first time. This is a social event bringing together aspiring developers to create open source software solutions that address the climate crisis, including […]
Advances in sequencing technologies have enabled the recovery of genetic data from minimal, contaminated, and highly degraded samples, overcoming long-standing barriers in forensic analysis. Nevertheless, many evidentiary samples still yield poor-quality DNA that is unconducive to PCR amplification of short tandem repeats (STRs), microarray genotyping, or deep sequencing necessary for accurate, complete genotype calls. This […]
