SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Nucleosomes for all: histone-based chromatin in noneukaryotic organisms
DESCRIPTION:Karolin Luger \n\n\n\nProfessor University of Colorado\, USA \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: This seminar will be given both in Uppsala\, BMC at January 22:nd and additionally in Solna at January 23\, 14:00\, George and Eva Klein\, Biomedicum\, Solnavägen 9\, Stockholm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nKarolin Luger is a distinguished professor and the Jennie Smoly Caruthers Endowed Chair of Biochemistry at the University of Colorado in Boulder\, and an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. She is recognized for her work on nucleosome structure and interacting proteins. The lab also studies the DNA damage recognition protein PARP1 and its interactions with chromatin\, with the aim of developing novel PARP inhibitors for cancer therapy. The group explores histone-based DNA organization in non-eukaryotic organisms\, to gain insight into the evolutionary origin of the nucleosome. \n\n\n\nLuger was born in Austria and obtained a degree in Biochemistry from the University of Innsbruck. She obtained her Ph.D. in biophysics from the Biocenter Basel\, then moved to a postdoc at the ETH Zuerich in 1990. She started her independent career at Colorado State University in 1999\, and in 2015 moved to the University of Colorado at Boulder. She is a fellow of the Biophysical Society\, a member of the National Academy of Science; the American Academy of Arts and Science; and EMBO. In 2023\, she was awarded the World Laureate Association (WLA) Prize in Life Science or Medicine for her groundbreaking work on nucleosome structure. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNucleosomes for all: histone-based chromatin in noneukaryotic organisms\n\n\n\nAll eukaryotes organize their DNA into nucleosomes\, consisting of an octamer of the four core histone proteins H2A\, H2B\, H3\, and H4\, around which 147 base pairs of DNA are wrapped in two tight superhelical turns. Histones were an early acquisition in eukaryogenesis that allowed for massive genome expansion\, a prerequisite for the complexity observed in modern-day eukaryotes. Histones are the targets of epigenetic modifications through the incorporation of histone variants and histone post-translational modifications\, and require elaborate assembly and remodeling machinery for gene regulation.

Unexpectedly\, we recently discovered that histones are sporadically present in the bacterial domain of life. In a stunning reversal of ‘histone logic’\, these small histones encase straight DNA rather than wrapping it around them.  As such\, histones are no longer a prerogative of eukaryotes but appear to be an ancient DNA packaging principle that has adapted to varying constraints in different domains of life. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Sebastian Deindl sebastian.deindl@icm.uu.se UU\, Simon Elsässer simon.elsasser@scilifelab.se\, KI

SUMMARY:From human population variation to ligand binding sites via SARS-CoV-2
DESCRIPTION:Talk by\n\n\n\nGeoff Barton\, Professor of Bioinformatics and Head of Division of Computational Biology School of Life Sciences University of Dundee\, Dundee\, Scotland\, UK. \n\n\n\nTitle\n\n\n\nFrom human population variation to ligand binding sites via SARS-CoV-2 \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nIn this talk I will present an analysis that compares publicly available variation data for human with variation seen across all available protein sequences regardless of species.  The analysis confirms patterns of variation in human are consistent with protein structural features (e.g. a-helix and b-strand) but highlights structurally and functionally important sites in around 15\,000 human protein domains that are not found by conventional sequence analysis methods. The identified sites are enriched in disease-associated variants\, ligand binding residues and protein-protein interaction sites. \n\n\n\nI will explain the method and illustrate the new analysis with examples including the Nuclear Receptor Ligand Binding Domains and G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) which are important therapeutic targets. \n\n\n\nThe study makes heavy use of the popular Jalview (www.jalview.org) sequence analysis program developed since 1996 in my group\, so I will also give a brief update on Jalview’s new features for exploring nsSNPs on alignments and three-dimensional structures.  \n\n\n\nA preprint describing some aspects of this work was deposited on bioRxiv MacGowan et al\, 2017: https://doi.org/10.1101/127050) and a specific application to the Ankyrin Repeats was published: Utgés et al\, 2021 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009335  More recent work applies the methods to ligand binding sites: Utgés et al\, 2023:  https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-3185838/v1 \n\n\n\nI will also give a brief summary of our work on SARS-CoV-2 that builds on our experience of analysing human population data MacGowan et al\, 2020: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.03.074781\,MacGowan et al\, 2022:  https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009922\, Barton\, M.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - The Impossibility of Whales: somatic evolution across the tree of life
DESCRIPTION:Alex Cagan \n\n\n\nAssistant ProfessorUniversity of Cambridge\, UK \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nAlex Cagan is an Assistant Professor at the Departments of Genetics\, Pathology and Veterinary Medicine at the University of Cambridge and affiliate of the Programme for Cancer\, Ageing and Somatic Mutation at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. He obtained his PhD in comparative genomics with Svante Pääbo at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology before doing a post-doc with Inigo Martincorena at the Wellcome Sanger Institute to develop methods to study somatic evolution. His work focuses on the development and application of methods to study somatic evolutionary processes across species to gain insights into cancer\, ageing and environmental monitoring. Alex is also enthusiastic about science illustration and communication. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe Impossibility of Whales: somatic evolution across the tree of life\n\n\n\nSomatic mutations accumulate in cells throughout life. They underpin the development of cancer and may contribute to ageing. Studying these mutations in healthy tissues has been challenging due to the difficulty of detecting mutations present in single cells or small clones in a tissue. Recent technical advances are enabling their study\, revealing how cells accumulate mutations at different rates and how clonal expansions of mutant cells colonise tissues. Yet little is known about how these processes operate in non-human species. We performed whole-genome sequencing of 208 intestinal crypts from 56 individuals to study the landscape of somatic mutation across 16 mammalian species. This comparative analysis of somatic mutagenesis shed light on the diversity of mutagenic processes across species\, and on long-standing questions regarding the evolution of somatic mutation rates and their role in cancer and ageing. We are now developing methods to enable the study of somatic evolution across any cell type in any species. These approaches aim to provide insights into the evolutionary origin of somatic mutational processes and the mechanisms that underlie cancer resistance in species where cancer is rare.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Matthew Webster matthew.webster@imbim.uu.se\, UU

SUMMARY:Practical intro to GPU programming in Python and Julia
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Tools for AI/ML research in life sciences event series arranged by the SciLifeLab Data Centre. This webinar is organized in collaboration with the EuroHPC National Competence Centre Sweden (ENCCS) as well as the National Supercomputer Centre\, LiU. \n\n\n\nTitle: Practical intro to GPU programming in Python & Julia \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Yonglei Wang\, PhD\, Research Software Engineer and HPC application expert\, ENCCS \n\n\n\nWhere and when: February 2\, 2024 at 10:00-11:00 Stockholm time\, online. Registration is open till February 2 at 9:00.  \n\n\n\nAbstract: Availability of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has transformed the way we work with machine learning and data science challenges in life sciences. The parallel processing capabilities of GPUs have allowed training of ever more complex models\, allowing researchers to analyze large biological datasets with unprecedented efficiency. However\, in order to make use of the potential that GPUs offer we need be able to write fitting machine learning model code and analysis pipelines. In this webinar ENCCS will present some practical tips about what to keep in mind and how to optimize your code when running analyses on GPU hardware. This webinar will be most useful to researchers who already work with large datasets and would like to improve their understanding of how to work with GPUs. At the end\, the participants will also be given an overview of online materials and in-person courses where researchers can learn about this topic in depth.  \n\n\n\nRegister to join the event\n\n\n\nMore about the event series: \n\n\n\nTools for AI/ML research in life sciences is an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre aimed at life science researchers who use machine learning methods in their work.

He attended Edinburgh University\, Scotland and after completing his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry (honors)\, he obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Leeds\, England. Following his Ph.D.\, Iain carried out postdoctoral research out at the Friedrich Miescher Institute\, Switzerland\, then at the Biocentre\, University of Basel\, Switzerland.  In 1985\, he joined EMBL as a Group Leader at the Heidelberg laboratory. He became Coordinator of the Gene Expression Unit at EMBL in 1990 before being promoted to the position of Scientific Director in 1999. Iain was appointed Director General of EMBL in May 2005 and remained in post till the end of 2018. He then moved to Italy to launch the Human Technopole Foundation (HT)\, a government-funded foundation focusing on research on human health and wellbeing. He grew the organization from 14 staff to 390 including 273 researchers in just over four years. This included construction and refurbishment of 20\,000 m2 of lab and office space\, organized and mainly carried out during the COVID pandemic. HT is now producing high-quality research. \n\n\n\nIn addition to his leadership success at EMBL and HT\, Iain’s own research achievements have been considerable and varied. His early work centered on a group of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles that function in the processing of messenger RNA precursors. His analyses of these RNPs spanned a variety of topics including transcription of the RNA components\, RNA-protein interactions\, function of the RNPs in messenger RNA production and assembly of the RNPs from their component parts in vivo. This work led to numerous studies of transport of RNA and proteins between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm. Iain’s group identified numerous factors and mechanisms involved in this important process. Iain’s more recent work has demonstrated the critical role of the Ran GTPase in regulating mitotic events including spindle assembly\, nuclear pore complex formation and nuclear envelope assembly. \n\n\n\nHis prominent standing in the field was underlined by his election as President of the RNA Society and his award of the prestigious Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine in 2001.In addition\, he has received numerous other awards and honorary lectureships\, including the FEBS Anniversary Prize\, Caledonian Research Foundation – Royal Society of Edinburgh Award\, Italian Chemical Society Award\, Feldberg Foundation Prize. He is Honorary Professor of the Faculty of Bio-Sciences of the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg\, and Honorary Doctor of the Universities of Edinburgh\, Dundee\, Umea and Leeds.His scientific contributions have also been recognized by his election as a Fellow of the Royal Society (London)\, Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences (USA)\, Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Science\, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh\, Member of Academia Europea\, Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Science\, Member of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher (Leopoldina)\, appointed Trustee of the Darwin Trust\, appointed Curator of the Lautenschläger Research Prize\, appointed Member of the Life Sciences Search Committee for the Körber Prize\, and appointed Member of the Search Committee for the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine. He was awarded the German Cross of Merit (Bundesverdienstkreuz) in 2021. \n\n\n\nHe is a member of many national and international scientific advisory boards and panels\, including periods as chair of EIROforum (European Intergovernmental Research Organisations)\, the Senior Awards Advisory Board of the Wellcome Trust\, Senior Review Board of the HHMI\, Chair of the ISTA executive Board\, Chair of the Institut Curie ISAB\, Chair of the Darwin Trust of Edinburgh Board of Trustees\, etc. etc. He is a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and helped make The EMBO Journal a highly successful international scientific journal\, acting as Executive Editor from 1990 to 2004. \n\n\n\n\nSvante Pääbo\, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology\, Germany\nSvante Pääbo has developed techniques that allow DNA sequences from archaeological and paleontological remains to be determined. His research group has determined high-quality genome sequences from Neanderthals and discovered Denisovans\, a previously unknown hominin group in Asian. They have shown that both Neanderthals and Denisovans contributed DNA to present-day humans and that these contributions have physiological and medical consequences today. Pääbo also works on the comparative and functional genomics of modern and archaic humans and apes. \n\n\n\nHe is a Director at the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig\, Germany\, and an Adjunct Professor at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology\, Japan. \n\n\n\n\nKjetil Tasken\, Univ. of Oslo\, Oslo University Hospital\, Norway\nProfessor Kjetil Taskén has been key in building Norway’s national cancer precision medicine initiative and now coordinates the Cancer Mission PRIME-ROSE project for DRUP-like clinical trials across Europe.

SUMMARY:CSI Seminar: Growth Mindset and Goal Setting
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to host a new Coaching in Science Initiative (CSI) Seminar titled: ‘Growth Mindset and Goal Setting’ \n\n\n\nThis seminar will focus on the importance of adopting a growth mindset when setting goals. \n\n\n\nWe will discuss: \n\n\n\n\nWhat is a growth mindset? Why is it important?\n\n\n\nHow can we adopt a growth mindset? How can we promote a growth mindset in others?\n\n\n\nHow to incorporate a growth mindset into goal setting and how a growth mindset can help us become more resilient as we work on our goals\n\n\n\n\nDate: 07/02/2024 \n\n\n\nTime: 14:00 – 14:30 \n\n\n\nZoom link: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/61771784779 \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 growth and goal setting in our lives? \n\n\n\nAnalysis: how well do I currently engage in growth and goal setting practices? \n\n\n\nAlternative: how could we relate to growth and goal setting\, in ourselves and others? \n\n\n\nAction: how will knowledge of growth and goal setting 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

SUMMARY:AI for Breast Cancer Risk Prediction
DESCRIPTION:I will describe the shortcomings of current breast cancer screening programs which are based on mammography for everyone. I will discuss how we developed an approach based on artificial intelligence to analyze mammograms of supposedly healthy women. The system considers three aspects\, long-term risk\, mammographic masking and subtle cancer signs. We developed the method\, analyzed the performance in retrospective data and performed a clinical study – ScreenTrustMRI. Given the same budget of additional MRI\, the AI approach detected around four times more cancers than would have been expected from established methods based on simplistic estimates of mammographic density. \n\n\n\nFredrik Strand\, Karolinska Institutet \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nregistration\n\n\n\nClinical Talks \n\n\n\nClinical Talks is an educational seminar series open to everyone. It is organized by the SciLifeLab Precision Medicine Capability\, and invites a mixture of speakers that are experts with a clinical perspective on topics concerning rare diseases\, cancer\, microbiology and bioinformatics. \n\n\n\nHealth is individual and patients can benefit greatly from personalized treatments\, tailored for their specific molecular disposition. This rapidly emerging field\, known as Precision Medicine\, relies on technology development and requires close collaboration between scientists and healthcare professionals. SciLifeLab aims to bring cutting-edge technologies\, first-class expertise and data infrastructure to build the foundation of tomorrow’s Precision Medicine.

SUMMARY:Clusters\, gene flow and artificial genotypes - looking at population structure from a deep learning angle
DESCRIPTION:NBIS\, Scilifelab’s Bioinformatics platform\, arranges an open AI and IO Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and Integrative Omics (AI & IO) analysis and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms\, typically between 10 and 11 am\, with ca. 45 min long presentation and 15 min discussion. \n\n\n\nFor further info\, please see this website. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClusters\, gene flow and artificial genotypes: looking at population structure from a deep learning angle\n\n\n\nMarcin Kierzcak\, NBIS\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nWe will look at different ways of modelling and visualising population structure based on genomic kinship. Starting from more traditional approaches like PCA or MDS as benchmark\, we will see how one can build more complex deep learning-based models (autoencoders) and we will discuss when such approach can be beneficial. Finally\, we are going to see how generative deep learning (VAEs) can be used to augment original input data with some artificially-generated individuals with desired pre-defined kinship relationships. \n\n\n\nsee further on the session page https://scilifelab.atlassian.net/l/cp/oR289EJK for updates. \n\n\n\nHope to see you all on this exciting talk on Friday\, \n\n\n\nClick here to join zoom conference

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Spatial biodiversity modeling with remote sensing and AI
DESCRIPTION:Tobias Andermann \n\n\n\nAssistant Professor\, DDLS fellowUppsala University  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nTobias Andermann is a biodiversity researcher dedicated to providing data and computatio- nal tools for combating the global biodiversity crisis. His group\, the Biodiversity Data Lab\, is working on the intersection of molecular biology\, spatial ecology\, and machine learning\, with the mission to provide a more comprehensive view on the distribution of biodiversity\, including hidden diversity of inconspicuous and even undescribed species through the use of environmental DNA. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpatial biodiversity modeling with remote sensing and AI\n\n\n\nThere is an ever-increasing need for developing standardized ways of quantifying the biodiversity value of a site. This need arises from international and local policies (e.g. the COP15 UN Biodiversity agreement) as well as from the independent investments of companies world-wide in developing biodiversity-positive profiles\, motivated by their public perception. This momentum provides an unprecedented opportunity to efficiently protect biodiversity on a large scale to turn around the alarmingly negative biodiversity trends of the recent decades and centuries. While individual biodiversity assessments for specific sites can be done through targeted inventories\, either through taxonomic experts or increasingly through the use of environmental DNA\, we also need ways of scaling up such biodiversity evaluations to larger scales\, covering entire regions or countries. AI models provide a unique tool to leverage complex biodiversity and remote sensing data to make predictions of biodiversity on large spatial scales\, while at the same time providing high spatial resolution. In this talk I will present some of these models from my ongoing research and discuss their utility\, as well as their current shortcomings and limitations. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Joëlle Rüegg joelle.ruegg@ebc.uu.se\, UU

SUMMARY:Modulation of Innate Immunity by Dengue Viruses: Feeling the STING
DESCRIPTION:Professor Ana Fernandez-Sesma obtained her Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of Salamanca\, Spain\, and the Icahn School of Medicine Mount Sinai in New York. Professor Fernandez-Sesma is currently the Department Chair of the Department of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) in New York. \n\n\n\nHer research focuses on the modulation of the innate immune system by viruses with public health potential such as Dengue (DENV)\, Influenza (IAV)\, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)\, Zika (ZIKV)\, and SARS-CoV-2. The goal of their studies is to understand the evasion mechanisms used by viruses to escape the immune system and establish infection in humans. Dr. Fernandez-Sesma’s research has greatly contributed to fundamental areas of virology\, biology\, and immunology using primary cell systems of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages\, as well as lung epithelial cells combining immunology and molecular techniques.  \n\n\n\nMore information here: https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/fernandez-sesma-lab/
