SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Multilevel drift and selection in the evolution of prokaryotic plasmids
DESCRIPTION:Tal Dagan \n\n\n\nProfessorInstitute of general microbiology\, Kiel University\, Germany. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nProf. Tal Dagan graduated her PhD in 2005 and moved to Germany for her postdoctoral studies. Since 2013 she is a professor of microbiology at Kiel University. Her main research interest is microbial genome evolution via lateral gene transfer with a focus on the evolution of prokaryotic plasmids \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMultilevel drift and selection in the evolution of prokaryotic plasmids\n\n\n\nPlasmids are an extrachromosomal genetic elements that populate prokaryote cells. Due to their interaction with a hosting cell\, drift and selection operate on plasmid alleles at two hierarchical levels: the collective of plasmids within the host and the collective of cells within the host population. The effect of these two levels on plasmid evolution remains understudied. Using experimental evolution approach integrated with phylogenomic reconstruction we found that: i) drift and selection at the level of the host population leads to contrasting effects on the plasmid fitness and ii) segregational drift of plasmid alleles during cell division constrains the rate of plasmid evolution. Our findings may apply for the evolution of other extrachromosomal genetic elements having a similar population structure. Focusing on plasmids\, our research thus uncovers general principles in the evolution of autonomously replicating genetic elements. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Maliheh Mehrshad maliheh.mehrshad@slu.se\, SLU and Helen Wang helen.wang@imbim.uu.se  UU

SUMMARY:Architecture of Active Human Enhancers and Molecular Features That Drive\, Long-Range\, Highly-regulated Transcription
DESCRIPTION:Campus Solna Spotlight Seminar series welcomes Professor John Lis from Cornell university to Stockholm to present his outstanding work. \n\n\n\nJohn Lis is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. He did his graduate research at Brandeis University and received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 1975. His postdoctoral work focused on Drosophila gene regulation and chromosome structure at Stanford University\, during which time he was supported by a fellowship from the Helen Hay Whitney Foundation. Dr. Lis joined the faculty at Cornell in 1978. His research program has been supported by the National Institutes of Health\, including a MERIT Award\, March of Dimes\, American Cancer Society\, Cornell Biotechnology Institute\, and a Proctor and Gamble University Exploratory Research Grant. \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nMechanisms of Transcriptional Regulation of Drosophila & Mammalian Genomes \n\n\n\nTranscription by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II)\, the enzyme responsible for all mRNA synthesis\, is highly regulated by protein factors at multiple steps in the transcription cycle. Two critical regulatory steps\, whose regulatory integration is critical for the sophisticated gene regulation seen in multicellular eukaryotes\, are 1) the recruitment of Pol II to promoters where it rapidly initiates transcription and can enter into a promoter-proximal\, paused state 20-50 base pairs from the initiation site; and 2) the release of paused Pol II into productive elongation. Promoter-proximal pausing is dependent on protein complexes DSIF (DRB Sensitivity Inducing Factor) and NELF (Negative Elongation Factor) bind to Pol II early in transcription to stabilize pausing. Pause release occurs upon phosphorylation of Pol II\, DSIF and NELF by the Cdk9\, Cyclin T1 heterodimer P-TEFb (Positive Transcription Elongation Factor b). Several elongation factors\, e.g.\, PAF1 and Spt6\, engage with Pol II in its transition from its promoter-proximal pause to productive elongation. Although Pol II pausing is a key step in transcription regulation and has been extensively studied\, the molecular mechanisms of pausing and pause release to productive elongation are far from being completely understood. Furthermore\, recent studies have led to competing molecular mechanisms on the role of promoter-proximal pausing in the control of transcription. In this seminar\, I will describe the evolution of our understanding of transcription regulation as well as describe our latest efforts to advance and resolve this understanding using a variety of state-of-the-art genomic and optical methods in Drosophila and mammals.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] Mechanisms of Transcriptional Regulation of Drosophila & Mammalian Genomes
DESCRIPTION:John Lis \n\n\n\nProfessor of Molecular Biology and GeneticsCornell  University\, USA \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nDr\, Lis received his B.S degree in Chemistry from Fairfield University\, and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Brandeis University. His postdoctoral work at Stanford University focused on molecular genetics and was supported by a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation Fellowship. Dr. Lis joined the faculty at Cornell in 1978 and served as Chairman of the Section of Biochemistry\, Molecular & Cell Biology in the 1990s. He is now the Barbara McClintock Professor of Molecular Biology and Genetics and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Lis’ group develops new approaches to study the molecular mechanisms of transcription regulation\, and he uses these newly developed and existing technologies in both focused studies of highly-regulated genes and in comprehensive analyses of gene regulation of Drosophila and human genomes. A Harvey Lecture at Rockefeller University summarizes some of his past work that can be accessed using the following link. https://harveysociety.org/videos/video.php?series=114&lecture=1&wvideo=7810nzrdc0 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMechanisms of Transcriptional Regulation of Drosophila & Mammalian Genomes \n\n\n\nTranscription by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II)\, the enzyme responsible for all mRNA synthesis\, is highly regulated by protein factors at multiple steps in the transcription cycle. Two critical regulatory steps\, whose regulatory integration is critical for the sophisticated gene regulation seen in multicellular eukaryotes\, are 1) the recruitment of Pol II to promoters where it rapidly initiates transcription and can enter into a promoter-proximal\, paused state 20-50 base pairs from the initiation site; and 2) the release of paused Pol II into productive elongation. Promoter-proximal pausing is dependent on protein complexes DSIF (DRB Sensitivity Inducing Factor) and NELF (Negative Elongation Factor) bind to Pol II early in transcription to stabilize pausing. Pause release occurs upon phosphorylation of Pol II\, DSIF and NELF by the Cdk9\, Cyclin T1 heterodimer P-TEFb (Positive Transcription Elongation Factor b). Several elongation factors\, e.g.\, PAF1 and Spt6\, engage with Pol II in its transition from its promoter-proximal pause to productive elongation. Although Pol II pausing is a key step in transcription regulation and has been extensively studied\, the molecular mechanisms of pausing and pause release to productive elongation are far from being completely understood. Furthermore\, recent studies have led to competing molecular mechanisms on the role of promoter-proximal pausing in the control of transcription. In this seminar\, I will describe the evolution of our understanding of transcription regulation as well as describe our latest efforts to advance and resolve this understanding using a variety of state-of-the-art genomic and optical methods in Drosophila and mammals \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Anniina Vihervaara anniina.vihervaara@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Snakemake “bring-your-own-code” (BYOC) workshop
DESCRIPTION:National workshop open for PhD students (prioritized)\, postdocs\, researchers and other employees at Swedish universities in need of skills to write Snakemake workflows for reproducible and scalable bioinformatics data analyses. This workshop requires previous participation in the NBIS Tools for reproducible research course or experience in writing Snakemake workflows. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nImportant dates and information\n\n\n\nApplication opens: 2024-02-26 \n\n\n\nApplication closes: 2024-04-14 \n\n\n\nConfirmation to accepted students: 2024-04-22 \n\n\n\nCourse Leader and teachers: Verena Kutschera (CL)\, Marcel Martin\, John Sundh\, Per Unneberg \n\n\n\nIn case you have any workshop-specific questions\, please contact: edu.byoc-snakemake@nbis.se \n\n\n\nCourse fee\n\n\n\nThis online training event has no fee. However\, if you confirm your participation but do not show up (no-show) you will be invoiced 2\,000 SEK*. \n\n\n\n*Please note that NBIS cannot invoice individuals \n\n\n\nCourse content\n\n\n\nAs data analysis projects grow and change over time\, it gets increasingly difficult to keep track of how the different parts of the data analysis fit together. Workflow management systems such as Snakemake can be used to set up\, perform and monitor defined sequences of computational tasks (“workflows”)\, thereby making data analyses reproducible and scalable. Snakemake was developed in the bioinformatics community and has some features that make it particularly well suited for bioinformatics workflows. \n\n\n\nThe NBIS Tools for reproducible research course is held twice a year and provides an introduction into Snakemake and a tutorial to learn how to use Snakemake. \n\n\n\nThis Snakemake BYOC (bring-your-own-code) workshop provides a follow-up to that introduction. Here\, participants will get support from experienced bioinformaticians to A) convert their data analysis from a programming language such as bash\, R or python into a Snakemake workflow\, or B) apply more advanced techniques to their existing Snakemake workflows. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\n\n\nUpon completion of this course\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nBe able to create Snakemake workflows for bioinformatics data analysis\n\n\n\nDemonstrate knowledge of the structure and syntax of different types of Snakemake workflows\n\n\n\nDemonstrate knowledge of advanced features of the Snakemake workflow language\n\n\n\n\nEntry requirements\n\n\n\nThe following is a list of skills required for being able to follow the course: \n\n\n\n\nPrevious participation in the NBIS Tools for reproducible research course. The workshop is also open for participants with experience in writing Snakemake workflows and with at least basic Unix/bash knowledge (e.g. being familiar with the command line and commands such as ls\, cd\, touch\, mkdir\, pwd\, wget\, etc.). We will use the information you provide in the application form to assess your Snakemake and Unix/bash knowledge.\n\n\n\nYour own bioinformatics analysis scripts in any programming language that you would like to convert into Snakemake OR your own Snakemake workflow that you would like to improve. \n\n\n\nA computer with a webcam running Linux or Mac OS (if you run Windows and are accepted as a participant\, additional setup will be required).\n\n\n\n\nDue to limited space the course can accommodate a maximum of 16 participants. If we receive more applications\, participants will be selected based on selection criteria\, including (but not limited to) correct entry requirements\, motivation to attend the course\, as well as gender and geographical balance.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Following spatial and temporal chemical changes in neurobiology
DESCRIPTION:Wojciech Michno \n\n\n\nAssistant Professor\, SciLifeLab FellowUppsala University \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nWojciech Michno is a neurochemistry researcher whose work focuses on studying spatial and temporal chemical changes in the brain to aid the understanding of neurological diseases. He obtained his PhD at the University of Gothenburg\, followed by three years as a postdoctoral researcher\, at University College London\, and Stanford University\, before joining the Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences\, at Uppsala University. His group works at the intersection of stem cell biology and analytical chemistry\, to understand how pathology-related local microenvironments and cell-specific phenotype changes contribute to the development and progression of neurological diseases\, such as neurodegeneration and cancer. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFollowing spatial and temporal chemical changes in neurobiology\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nUnderstanding “What’s happening in the human brain”\, has always been challenging. For a long time\, this has hampered our strategies to address diverse neurological conditions ranging from neurodevelopment to neurodegeneration\, but also cancer. Yet recent advances in stem cell-derived complex 3D models of the brain\, genetic engineering\, and state-of-the-art molecular and chemical imaging techniques open a new path to understanding the human brain. These approaches allow us to not only capture the end stages of diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease but also follow them over time. For the first time\, we can study the cellular phenotypes associated with cell-specific interactions from the spatial as well as temporal standpoint. This allows us to understand both the short- and the long-term consequences of genetically or environmentally induced insults to brain homeostasis.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will present some of the work related to revisiting the core of neuropathological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease\, and how chemical imaging techniques can be leveraged to understand the previously inaccessible events in the pathology development. I will also address opportunities and limitations of combining cutting-edge stem cell biology and chemistry\, in studying the mechanism underlying environmentally associated pathological changes in Alzheimer’s disease and beyond. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Stina Syvänen stina.syvanen@pubcare.uu.se

SUMMARY:Practical and theoretical considerations using digital sequencing in liquid biopsy analysis (SiMSen-seq)
DESCRIPTION:SiMSen-Seq is a core techonology that offers digital resolution with close to error-free sequencing and minimal quantification biases. This approach is flexible and easy to adapt to a wide range of applications\, such as detection of circulating tumor-DNA in essentially any tumor entity\, immune repertoire profiling\, and detection of environmental DNA. \n\n\n\nThe technology was invented by Prof. Anders Ståhlberg in collaboration with Tony Godfrey\, Boston University (Ståhlberg et al.\, Nat Protocol 2017: PMID: 28253235) and until now it has only been provided to selected research collaborators. To be able to offer this state-of-the-art technique nationwide and facilitate its introduction into healthcare  we are now integrating SiMSen-Seq as a research service into the SciLifeLab Clinical Genomics plafform. \n\n\n\nBefore the seminar\, there will be a mingling session with coffee and cake served in the Academicum foyer\, outside the lecture hall\, between 14:30-15:00. \n\n\n\nRead more

SUMMARY:CSI Seminar: Abuse Awareness & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Dear Everyone\, \n\n\n\nWe welcome you to a new Coaching in Science Initiative (CSI) Seminar titled: ‘Abuse Awareness & Healing’ \n\n\n\nJoin us for a powerful seminar dedicated to abuse awareness and healing. We will delve into the complexities of abuse dynamics\, providing insights and resources\, recognizing signs and patterns\, and supporting survivors and allies alike. Whether you’re a survivor seeking solace or an advocate eager to make a difference\, this seminar offers a safe place to learn\, share\, and grow. Together\, let’s raise awareness\, foster empathy\, and empower one another on the journey toward healing\, resilience\, and reclaiming our voices. \n\n\n\nDate: 31/05/2024 \n\n\n\nTime: 14:00 – 14:30 \n\n\n\nZoom link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/66524802780 \n\n\n\nOn-site location: Gamma 2 lunch room \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a ~ 20 min talk\, held in Solna and over zoom. Then proceed with a reflection and discussion held only on-site. We encourage other sites to form watch parties\, by listening in together to the talk and then hold their own discussion afterwards. Hopefully seeding many local chapters of CSI. \n\n\n\nTo help facilitate discussion and reflection\, consider the following starter questions: \n\n\n\nAwareness: where do we experience abusive behaviors & healing in our lives? \n\n\n\nAnalysis: how well do I currently handle abusive situations & healing? \n\n\n\nAlternative: how could we relate to abusive behaviors & healing\, in our private life and society? \n\n\n\nAction: how will knowledge of different types of abuse & post-traumatic growth change my decisions going forward? \n\n\n\nPlease forward this to friends and colleagues! \n\n\n\nYours sincerely\, \n\n\n\nThe CSI Team \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.thecoachinginscienceinitiative.org

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] Combining artificial intelligence approaches and cellular screens to define functional regulatory variation in mammalian genomes
DESCRIPTION:James Prendergast \n\n\n\nProfessorRoslin Institute\, University of Edinburgh- UK \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nJames Prendergast is professor of bioinformatics at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh. His academic journey began with a focus on the genetics of colorectal cancer during the early days of genome-wide association studies\, leading to a PhD in Bioinformatics and Statistical Genetics from the University of Edinburgh in 2007. \n\n\n\nAfter completing his PhD\, James held post-doctoral positions at the European Bioinformatics Institute and University College Dublin\, before joining the Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh. In 2013\, he transitioned to livestock research\, first joining the Roslin Institute on a career-track fellowship. \n\n\n\nThrough his career\, James has been part of several international consortia\, including the FAANG BovReg project\, Bridget\, FANTOM\, and the Bovine Pangenome Consortium. These collaborations have allowed him to continue to work across both human and livestock genetics research. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCombining artificial intelligence approaches and cellular screens to define functional regulatory variation in mammalian genomes\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDespite significant progress\, the exact genetic variants that influence crucial mammalian traits and phenotypes often remain unknown. This uncertainty presents a significant challenge to the enhancement of livestock health and production through cutting-edge genomic approaches like genome editing. While predicting functional coding variants is comparatively straightforward\, it is suggested that regulatory variants are the primary drivers of phenotypic differences between individuals. In this talk\, I will delve into our efforts to bridge this knowledge gap by integrating novel cellular screen datasets and AI workflows to predict functional regulatory variants in mammalian genomes. This includes the pioneering application of the Survey of Regulatory Elements (SuRE) approach to cattle\, where we have scrutinized the regulatory impact of tens of millions of cattle variants\, while effectively eliminating the confounding effect of linkage disequilibrium that hampers other methodologies. I will demonstrate how these strategies can not only effectively prioritize regulatory variants in both humans and cattle\, but also identify those variants associated with significant phenotypes in each species. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Host: Gabriella Lindgren\, SLU and Jennifer Meadows\, UU
