We are pleased to announce that Dr. Adam Novak will be the guest speaker of our upcoming Sven Furberg Seminar in Bioinformatics and Statistical Genomics on the coming Friday, Sep 27, at 14:30 in Lille auditorium, Kristen Nygaards hus.

Dr. Adam Novak, senior software engineer in the UCSC Genomics Institute, will present his lecture "Graph-based genome representations".

Abstract:

Graph-based approaches to genomics problems can beat out traditional linear-reference-based tools, reducing reference allele bias and improving structural variant calling. For these reasons and others, graph genomics techniques are becoming more popular, and more graph-based tools are being developed. Here I present lessons on genome graph API design learned during the development of the vg variation graph toolkit. I show how techniques and libraries extracted from vg can be used to help developers quickly bootstrap new graph-based projects, forming an ecosystem of interoperable graph genomics tools.

This seminar focus on Kurdish women's lives and activism, in Kurdistan and in the diaspora. Although Kurdish women's movements have existed in the different regions of Kurdistan for many decades, relatively little attention has been given to their history and dynamics. This seminar brings together three academics who have done research on Kurdish women from three different regions: Minoo Alinia  for Iraq, Nerina Weiss for Turkey, and Wendelmoet Hamelink for Syria.

Det store i det lille og det lille i det store. Hvordan ser vi mennesker ut fra månen? Hva slags matematiske mønstre finner vi i naturen, og hvordan styrer algoritmer handlingene dine? Forskere og studenter ved UiO forteller om hva som inspirerer og fascinerer dem - på fem minutter hver.

UiO satser stort på livsvitenskap og ønsker å bidra til ny helsenæring. Thermo Fisher Scientific er ett av firmaene som har lykkes med å ta norske forskningsresultater videre til anvendelse over hele verden, samtidig som de har bevart aktivitet i Norge. Hva ser de etter hos studenter fra UiO, og hva kan de tilby? Møt også en ung forsker fra UiO:Livsvitenskaps innovasjonsprogram SPARK Norway.

”Mechanisms of Toxicity of Engineered Carbon Nanotubes and Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials”

Skal universitetet spille en rolle i å løse klimakrisen? Hvilken effekt har skolestreikene? Må professorer fly, og hvordan skal vi utdanne fremtidige studenter til et bærekraftig arbeidsliv? Vi tar debattene på Kulturhuset.

Norske forskere tar nå opp arven etter Nansen og utforsker økosystemene i de arktiske havområdene. Hvorfor gjør de det? Hva venter de å finne? Hvilke lange tradisjoner bygger denne forskningen på?

Olli Saarela (Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, CAN) will give a talk on September 24th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Counting problems have been shown to be challenging for students to solve correctly, and one reason is that they can be difficult to verify (e.g., Eizenberg & Zaslavsky, 2004).
