Dear All,
Tuesday, the 20th of May, at 2 pm in the Math Lecture Theater of the
Cornwallis Building in the University of Kent,
Professor Marina Vannucci (Rice University, USA)
will speak on:
Bayesian Models for Integrative Genomics
ABSTRACT: Novel methodological questions are being generated in the
biological sciences, requiring the integration of different concepts,
methods, tools and data types. Bayesian methods that employ variable
selection have been particularly successful for genomic applications,
as they allow to handle situations where the amount of measured
variables can be much greater than the number of observations. In this
talk I will focus on models that integrate experimental data from
different platforms together with prior knowledge. I will look in
particular at hierarchical models that relate genotype data to mRNAs,
for the selection of the markers that affect the gene expression.
Specific sequence/structure information will be incorporated into the
prior probability models. All modeling settings employ variable
selection techniques and prior constructions that cleverly incorporate
biological knowledge about structural dependencies among the
variables. Applications will be to data from cancer studies.
Hope to see you there
Best Wishes
Fabrizio Leisen
