Microbiome studies hold tremendous potential along with substantial computational challenges. I will present two computational approaches for microbiome data analysis. First, I will present SCRuB, a new method for in silico removal of contamination from microbiome data. We show that modeling the taxonomic composition of contamination sources, rather than trying to infer whether specific taxa […]
BWH Computational Pathology Special Seminar Harris H. Wang, PhD Associate Professor of Systems Biology Interim Chair, Department of Systems Biology, Columbia University Microbes that colonize the gastrointestinal tract play important roles in host metabolism, immunity, and homeostasis. Microbes that live in soil are responsible for a variety of key decomposition and remediation activities in the […]
Georg Gerber at Microbiome Data Conference
Speaker Name: Efrat Muller Affiliation: Prof. Elhanan Borenstein Lab, Tel Aviv University Position: Doctoral Candidate Hosted by: Jennifer Dawkins, Gerber Lab The human gut microbiome, and its metabolic activity in particular, have been implicated in a wide range of disease states, including metabolic disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, and colorectal cancer. This growing appreciation for the […]
Speaker: Vitalii Kleshchevnikov, PhD Affiliation: Wellcome Sanger Institute Position: Bioinformatician @ Bayraktar, Stegle, Teichmann group Host: Daniel MacDonald, Gibson Lab Abstract: Cell identity drives cell-cell communication and tissue architecture and is in return regulated by cell-extrinsic cues. Cell identity is determined by the combination of intrinsic developmentally established transcription factor use (TF) and constitutive as […]
