Next Generation Sequencing Interest Group - ATAC-Seq: a first glimpse into chromatin states

Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 3:00pm to 4:00pm

Chromatin accessibility is an essential component of gene regulation of biological processes in specific cells. Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) is an effective way to probe for chromatin accessibility at a genome-wide level and has become a powerful tool to understand dynamic gene expression regulation. In this talk, I will summarize both principle and features of ATAC-seq, and highlight its applications in basic and clinical research

The Racial Equity Institute's Groundwater Approach: Building a practical understanding of structural racism

Saturday, February 22, 2020, 2:00pm to 5:00pm

This workshop is designed to help participants understand that we live in a racially structured society and that that this is what leads to racial inequity. The "groundwater" metaphor is based on three observations: racial inequity looks the same across systems, socioeconomic difference does not explain the racial inequity; and inequities are caused by systems, regardless of people’s culture or behavior. Embracing these truths allows us to confront the reality that systems, institutions, and...
