Robert Bukowski is a Senior Research Associate at the BRC Bioinformatics Facility on campus.
The maize HapMap project, currently at its third release, focuses on capturing allelic variation, including rare alleles, across a highly diverse set of maize germplasm. It is a part of ongoing effort in the pan-zea community to identify variants responsible for complex trait variation. I will present computational techniques we use to characterize genotypes of about 1,000 maize lines from Illumina whole-genome sequencing data.

Date: Mar 10, 2014. Aureliano Bombarely: Insights into Plant Genome Sequence Assembly
Aureliano Bombarely is a Research Associate at the Doyle Lab in the Plant Biology Department. He was formerly with the Sol Genomics group at BTI. Please see here for recent publications.
Recent developments in genome assembly tools and algorithms will be presented. There will be particular focus on challenges associated with assembling polyploid plant genomes. Methods to assess quality and completeness in order to compare multiple assemblies will also be covered

Date: Feb 24, 2014. Jaroslaw Pillardy: Solutions for large data storage computing infrastructure
Jarek is the Director of the BRC Bioinformatics Facility on campus.
Large data storage infrastructure problems and solutions based on Bioinformatics Facility experience will be discussed with a focus on hardware issues. What do we use and why do we use it? How to achieve compromise between cost, performance and maintenance?

The BTI Perl Club is being revived as the Bioinformatics Practitioners Club
This will be a forum for practicing bioinformaticians at the Ithaca campus to discuss technology. There are many introductory courses as well as domain-specific journal clubs already available. See here for a list. The focus of Bioinformatics Practitioners Club will be developments in methods, practices and new tools for bioinformatics. The meetings will typically be held once a month. The time and location details for the next talk will be sent out soon on the mailing list.
