Presenter: Parul Patil, Postdoctoral Researcher, UC Santa Cruz Description: Many computer simulations are stochastic and exhibit input dependent noise. In such situations, heteroskedastic Gaussian processes (hetGPs) make ideal surrogates as they estimate a latent, non-constant variance. However, existing hetGP implementations are unable to deal with large simulation campaigns and use point-estimates for all unknown quantities, […] |

In lung cancer, recurrent alterations in RNA processing regulators reshape both the proteins genes encode and the sequences that regulate their production. Understanding how mRNA processing influences protein production requires resolving the coding and regulatory sequences present in individual mRNA isoforms. Transcription start site (TSS) choice, alternative splicing (AS) , and polyadenylation site (PAS) choice […] |
