Biostatistics: the application of statistics to a wide range of topics in biology. The science of biostatistics encompasses the design of biological experiments, especially in medicine, pharmacy, agriculture and fishery; the collection, summarization, and analysis of data from these experiments; and the interpretation of, and inference from, the results.
This webinar builds and expands on the recent labroots webinar by Dr. Gary Horowitz to emphasize how relatively in expensive assay standardization procedures can be incorporated into clinical...
Transcriptional profiling of the tumor microenvironment can lead to insights about the interaction between the tumor and immune system. This facilitates investigation of immune evasion mechan...
We developed two computational methods, CARE and TIDE, to predict response and resistance to targeted therapies and immunotherapies. CARE infers gene signatures of targeted therapy response b...
Characterizing cellular hierarchy has profound implications in development and diseases. Single-cell technologies have great potential in discovering new cell types and lineage relationships,...
Although ultrahigh-throughput RNA-sequencing has become the dominant technology for genome-wide transcriptional profiling, the vast majority of RNA-seq studies typically profile only tens of...
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analyses have identified genetic associations with a wide range of human phenotypes. However, many of the...
When studying the transcriptome, most of our inferences revolve around changes in average expression. However, more recent examples have demonstrated that analysis of the variability of gene...
Much has been made in the popular press about importance of our "genes" in everything from our weight, intelligence, and our risk of disease. While there is a scientific basis...
Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are prevalent worldwide, and pregnant women and infants are at highest risk for having deficiency and related consequences. Epidemiologic studies have s...
The biological state of the cell is characterized by a complex network of interacting genes, gene products, proteins, microRNAs, as well as other molecules. Microarrays and next generation se...
Emerging technologies facilitate basic science research, but their value in regulatory applications requires rigorous assessment and consensus within the research community. Next-generation s...
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. Most tumors arise from a myriad of genetic changes that dysregulate cell growth and prompt survival. Ident...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
In November of 2013 the AHA/ACA jointly proposed new guidelines for the management of hypercholesterolemia, the first full update in over a decade. The charge was to create evidence bas...

Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...
Germline cancer genetics became a reality with the cloning of the tumor suppressor gene RB1 for hereditary retinoblastoma in 1986 by Friend and Weinberg. The existence of cancer susceptibili...
Next-generation sequencing technology allows us to peer inside the cell in exquisite detail, revealing new insights into biology, evolution, and disease that would have been impossible to dis...
I will discuss recent statistical methods for identifying differentially expressed genes in static and time course bulk RNA-seq experiments. I will also provide an overview of the opportunit...
Every major scientific and technological revolution in history has been driven by one thing: access to data. Today, the availability of Big Data from a wide variety of sources is transforming...
During my presentation, we will discuss:- Normal patterns of behavior (repertoire): social, food intake, territorial, agonistic, anti-predation, sleep and rest, play behavior, grooming, sex...
In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
Understanding how genes coordinate their expression across cells in a growing embryo can provide insights into the transcriptional programs that control development. Intercellular variability...
