seminario: "Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles", Marina Axelson-Fisk 26 April
by Umberto Picchini 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

You are welcome to the next Statistics seminar at Dept of Mathematical Sciences at Chalmers and Göteborg University. On Tuesday April 26, Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> will talk of: ///"Comparative gene finding on highly diverse chromosome alleles"/ / / //*About the speaker: *Marina Axelson-Fisk <http://www.math.chalmers.se/~marinaa/> is an Assc. Professor in Mathematical Statistics at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg. She works mainly within the field of Bioinformatics, with particular focus on stochastic models and algorithms for comparative genomics and cross-species gene finding. She is an associate member of the Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB), where she is involved in the bioinformatics analysis of a number of newly sequenced Swedish coastal organisms. ** *Abstract:* With the new sequencing technologies, the number of novel genome sequences has exploded. At the same time the genome projects are hampered by the lack of homologies to the novel genome, making it difficult both to properly train genome analysis tools and to assess the results. Moreover, the faster and cheaper sequencing methods come with the cost of data quality, and sequencing and annotation errors that make it into the genome databases are propagated to new genomes, making annotation an even bigger challenge. Methods that can improve the data quality is desperately needed. Here we propose a novel use of comparative gene finding to improve the annotation in organisms with high nucleotide diversity. Comparative gene finding methods utilizes the contrast in sequence similarity between functional and non-functional regions of evolutionary related species. We show how this can be applied to chromosome pair sequences in diploid sequence data. We demonstrate the approach on the highly diverse sea orchid Balanus improvisus using SLAM, a cross-species gene finder that simultaneously annotates and aligns two homologous sequences using Generalized Pair Hidden Markov Models.* * *Feel free to spread this announcement in your network.* * * *Where*: room MVL14 or https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/62177902216 Password: 786749 ** **** *When*: Tuesday 26 April at 14.30-15.30*(Swedish time, UTC+2)*. ** -- _________________________________________________________ Umberto Picchini, Associate Professor, PhD, Docent https://umbertopicchini.github.io/ , twitter: @uPicchini

Webinar PRISMA
by c.ceci＠unich.it 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Buongiorno a tutti, abbiamo il piacere di annunciare i prossimi Webinars promossi dal Gruppo UMI-PRISMA: Lunedi’ 2 maggio 2022 ore 16-17 LAURA SACERDOTE TITOLO: Input-output consistency in Integrate and Fire neuronal networks ABSTRACT: Models of neurons aim to describe the information transmission within a neural network. Some models are mathematically tractable with the introduction of strong simplifications, ignoring the involved biophysicalfeatures of the single units. Others are very faithful to reality at the price of very complex mathematical descriptions. Models are then used to describe networks, often through simulations. The appearance of particular patterns in the trains of spikes is then used to compare with observed data or to switch from microscopic to macroscopic analysis. In this framework, it is essential to guarantee the reliability of the output of the model and often scientists compare the output of the models with real data. However, when the models are used to reproduce networks the output of some neurons becomes the input of a successive layer of neurons. This fact opens a problem of consistency between input and output of layers of neurons. To the best of our knowledge, this problem has not yet been deeply investigated. Here, we consider the simplest Stochastic Integrate and Fire model and we try to characterize the features of its input in such a way to re-obtain the same features in the output. In particular, we focus on the tail properties of ISIs distribution. Observed data suggest the presence of heavy tails for this distribution. Using the Stochastic Integrate and Fire paradigm for the neurons of the network we study how such features can be transmitted from the network. In this framework we introduce a particular class of multivariate distributions, i.e. the regularly varying distributions. We show that assuming that the input to a neuron is a regularly varying random vector and that successive ISIs of a neuron are asymptotically independent thenthe resulting output is a regularly varying random variable. The talk is based on a joint work with Petr Lansky and Federico Polito. Ore 17-18 BRUNO TOALDO TITLE: Semi-Markov processes, their exit times and non-local equations ABSTRACT: We introduce the theory of semi-Markov processes and their interplay with non-local equations. Particular attention will be devoted to the theory of exit times from sets and the connection with boundary value problems, e.g., on a time-dependent parabolic domain.

Seminars in Pisa: A. P. Todino and F. Pistolato
by Francesco Grotto 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Dear Colleagues, we would like to invite you to the following seminar by Anna Paola Todino (Università Milano Bicocca) to be held this Wednesday (April 27th) at Dipartimento di Matematica in Pisa and online via Google Meets. After the seminar, in the same location (on site and online), Francesca Pistolato (future PhD student at Université du Luxembourg) will give a short talk, details below. The organizers, A. Agazzi and F. Grotto -------------------------------------------- Location: Sala Seminari, Dipartimento di Matematica, Pisa Google Meet Link: https://meet.google.com/gji-phwo-vbg Time: April 27th, 2022, 14:00-15:00 CET Speaker: Anna Paola Todino (UniMiB) Title: Alternative forms of random spherical harmonics Abstract: In the last decade, lot of efforts have been devoted to the analysis of the high-frequency behaviour of geometric functionals (Lipschitz-Killing Curvatures) for the excursion sets of random eigenfunctions on the unit sphere (spherical harmonics). The asymptotic behavior of their expected values and variances have been investigated and quantitative central limit theorems have been established in the high energy limits. In order to generalize these results, a local study was also introduced by considering subdomains of the sphere. This topic is linked to Berry's conjecture on planar random waves and finds its motivation in cosmological applications. Another interesting issue concerns the Gaussianity hypothesis of the random field. In this direction we introduce a model of Poisson random waves on the 2-dimensional sphere and we study Quantitative Central Limit Theorems when both the rate of the Poisson process and the energy (i.e. frequency) of the waves (eigenfunctions) diverge to infinity. We consider finite-dimensional distributions, harmonic coefficients and convergence in law in functional spaces, and we investigate carefully the interplay between the rates of divergence of eigenvalues and Poisson governing measures. Time: April 27th, 2022, 15:00-15:30 CET Speaker: Francesca Pistolato Title: A Small-Scale Reduction Principle for the Nodal Length of Monochromatic Random Waves Abstract: We prove an asymptotic mean square equivalence between the nodal length of monochromatic random waves and their sample trispectrum in the small-scale regime. We make use of coupling techniques for non-stationary Gaussian fields, and the so-called Small-Scale Central Limit Theorem for the nodal length, both proved by Dierickx, Nourdin, Peccati, Rossi in 2020. Consequently, we deduce the conjectured equivalence from the analogous one for Berry's random wave model, proved by Vidotto in 2020.
