Department of Statistics Research Seminar
Tao Yu, National University of Singapore
In the past few years, RNA-Seq has been widely used in genomics research, leading to tons of numerical data outputs.
Non-uniformity is dramatic in RNA-Seq count data. Recent studies have shown that the non-uniformity is a systematic bias rather than random noise, which can be modeled based on local sequences. In a study with different experimental groups, control and treatment say, we may have a number of replicates in each group. To the best of our knowledge, existing statistical methods are not able to analyze such data effectively, bearing in mind of the non-uniformity in RNA-Seq data.
In this paper, we propose a new model and establish an efficient computational algorithm to deal with data of this kind. Our method jointly estimates the expression levels of all genes and automatically identifies the differentially expressed genes between groups.
Furthermore, compared with the existing approach, our implemented algorithm is computationally much more efficient.

Mapping the Universe of Knowledge
The ideal of an international world of learning in which knowledge passed freely between scientists, regardless of political frontiers and language, captured imaginations during the second half of the nineteenth century. It bore fruit in unprecedentedly ambitious schemes for the ordering and retrieval of information and in a proliferation of universal exhibitions and congresses driven by the rhetoric of openness and cooperation. But in peace as in the world wars of the twentieth century national interests provided a constant counterweight at odds with the universalist vision and fed the tensions between ideal and reality that are the core theme of these lectures.

Universalism and national interest in the industrial age

Additional ammunition can be purchased for $3.00/box (50 rounds) on site.
Sign-ups are available online or in person at the target range starting at 8:30AM Sunday May 4th. If an earlier session is already full, you may sign up for a later session. NOTE: sessions tend to fill quickly! Each session is limited to 24 participants. Some sharing of firing points can be expected. Pre-registration will be limited to 75% capacity (18 participants per session) to allow the opportunity for some first-come-first-serve walk up registration. Each session is 2 hours.
