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

CANCER PRIORITY BY RACE
Presenter:Julie Jaddoo
Date:04-15-2021
Time:4:00pm-4:30pm
Location:Zoom
Cancer is one of the most common and deadly diseases and its incidence is increasing. There are over one hundred types of cancer and they have a varied impact on society and the individuals affected. Racial disparities play a role in the outcome of many diseases. How does race impact the types of cancer that

De-novo SuperTranscriptome assembly from the nodal root growth zone of maize inbred line FR697
Presenter:Sidharth Sen
Date:04-15-2021
Time:3:30pm-4:00pm
Location:Zoom
Certain cultivars of maize show increased resistance to water deficit conditions by maintenance of root growth. To better understand the molecular mechanisms related to this adaption, nodal root growth zone samples were collected from the reference inbred line B73 and inbred line FR697, which exhibits a relatively greater ability to maintain root elongation under water

Design and Evaluation of a Longitudinal Method to Measure Physician Burnout in the Clinical Workflow
Presenter:Katie Wilkinson
Date:03-25-2021
Time:4:00PM-4:30PM
Location:Zoom
Burnout, a condition characterized by emotional exhaustion, listlessness, and an inability to cope, is demonstrably more prevalent among healthcare providers than other occupations. Burnout is fundamentally a longitudinal problem, but traditional instruments for measurement such as the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) are time-consuming, expensive, and complex to administer, making
