Bioinformatics Research and Collaboration in the Era of Big Data and Precision Medicine
Presenter:Dr. Zhongming Zhao
Date:05-06-2021
Time:3:30pm-5:00pm
Location:Zoom
As we have entered the precision medicine and big data science era, there are many unmet challenges on identifying the disease related information from large, heterogeneous data, and translating the findings for clinical use. Among these challenges, one is how to effectively identify driver mutations and genes in cancer genomes, especially those with the potential

Detection of changes in allelic frequencies due to selection on complex traits in the genomes of pigs from four genetic lines using generation proxy selection mapping
Presenter:Caleb Grohmann
Date:04-29-2021
Time:4:00pm-4:30pm
Location:Zoom
Most economically relevant traits in pig breeding programs are controlled by numerous causal variants spread across the genome and undergo selection pressure to improve the genetic merit of commercial pigs. As a result, small changes in allele frequency over relatively short time scales are induced at these loci. Identification of genomic loci that exhibit directional
