We will be joined by three speakers: PhD candidate Korawich Uthayopas, who will discuss PRIMITI, a machine learning model for accurate prediction of miRNA-target mRNA interaction; PhD candidate Oliver Hughes, on his work on evaluating regional bias between replicates that are inherent to ChIP-seq and is widespread across ENCODE, and a flash talk by PhD candidate Sophie Leech on her research on altered gut microbiome composition in women with pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus during pregnancy.
