BBI Data Analysis Tutorial
2021-12-07 09:00 - 11:00 | Online
The BBI bioinformatics team is hosting a Monocle 3 tutorial/training to help you navigate your single-cell RNA-seq data. This tutorial is aimed at assisting you with questions and concerns regarding single-cell data analysis using Monocle 3. Although we encourage anyone interested to attend, this particular session is mainly for researchers that have little to no experience with the R programming language or analyzing single-cell data and is primarily aimed to assist beginners. In the future, we will have further tutorials for intermediate and more advanced skill levels.
The prerequisites for this session are:1. R & R studio installed2. Monocle 3 installed
During this session, we will cover the following topics:1. An introduction to Monocle 32. Loading, QC and initial filtering of data3. Pre-processing data, dimensionality reduction and making a basic UMAP4. Basic clustering and plotting genes of interest5. Finding top markers6. Gene ontology/gene set analysisThere will also be some time to address specific questions.
Host: Aishwarya GogateWhen: Tuesday, 7th December 2021 from 9am – 11amWhere: Zoom meeting

Current Biology Seminar - Dr. Bing Ren
2021-12-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Online
The Basic Sciences Division hosts a weekly Current Biology Seminar series where leading-edge researchers are invited from around the world to share their latest scientific breakthroughs. Lectures are typically every Tuesday and are held as virtual events.
Speaker: Bing Ren, Ph.D.
The Ren Lab investigates the mechanisms of gene regulation in normal and cancer cells. Bing Ren’s study has contributed to the understanding of genome organization and regulation in human cells. He invented a transformative approach for genome-wide determination of transcription factor binding and chromatin modification. The lab produced the first comprehensive maps of transcriptional regulatory sequences in the human genome that helped to advance our understanding of the dynamic and cell-type-specific expression of genes.

Variant Effects Seminar Series
2021-12-07 15:00 - 16:00 | Online
A trainee-led seminar series sponsored by the Atlas of Variant Effects Alliance

In this series, trainees from around the globe share and discuss their research related to interpreting human genetic variation.
Speakers: Jonathan Frazer & Mafalda Dias (Debora Marks’ lab in the Systems Biology Department at Harvard Medical School) and Ian Hill (UW)

Next Generation Cytogenomics for Reproductive Genetics and Oncology Webinar
2021-12-08 13:30 - 14:30 | Online
The next generation of cytogenomic technology is coming to reproductive health and oncology research. Leveraging ultra long-range sequencing to detect structural and copy number chromosome variation, our new platform has opened a space for expanding research possibilities and further exploration of the human genome. Reveal the topography of the genetic map, unlock valuable information hidden within non-viable tissue and FFPE samples, and achieve genome-wide detection of abnormalities in a single, scalable, and cost-effective assay.
Join Phase Genomics for a presentation on how the latest applications of our ultra long-range sequencing platform are advancing precision diagnostics and treatment in reproductive genetics and oncology. This November 30th at 1:30-2:30 PM PST—register now!
