Signatures of the great human expansion Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - 11:30am to 1:00pm Since the emergence of modern humans in Africa, human population histories have been complex and nonstationary. Human populations have, for example, grown rapidly, split apart, migrated over large distances, experienced isolation, and mixed during colonization events. |

Towards A Platform for Engineering RNA Regulatory Networks Using High Throughput RNA Structure Characterization Thursday, April 25, 2013 - 11:30am to 1:00pm Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play central roles in maintaining, regulating and defending the genomes of all organisms. In fact, their regulatory versatility and ubiquity have made ncRNAs increasingly important tools for engineering synthetic biological systems. |
