GIScience as an Interdisciplinary Bridge in Indigenous Health Equity
Presenter:Daniel Beene
Date:05-20-2022
Time:8:25AM-9:35AM
Location:Zoom
GIS and geographic theories can help bridge a crucial gap in interdisciplinary research projects. Geography is uniquely poised to offer critical and practical analytical support, wrangle spatial data and relate them to other datasets, and ground community-based science within the communities it aims to serve. In the context of the Navajo Nation, a key concern

Analysis of polygenic selection in purebred and crossbred pig genomes using Generation Proxy Selection Mapping
Presenter:Caleb Grohmann
Date:04-28-2022
Time:3:30PM-4:30PM
Location:Zoom
Background Artificial selection on quantitative traits using selection indices in commercial livestock breeding populations causes changes in allele frequency over time, termed selection signatures, at causal loci and other surrounding genomic regions. Researchers and managers of pig breeding programs are motivated to understand the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity across genetic lines, breeds, and populations using
