Seminar

We will discuss about “Multiparameter persistent homology landscapes identify immune cell spatial patterns in tumors”, Vipond, Oliver, et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 118.41 (2021): e2102166118. Abstract Highly resolved spatial data of complex systems encode rich and nonlinear information. Quantification of heterogeneous and noisy data—often with outliers, artifacts, and mislabeled points—such as …

We will discuss about "Role of DNA binding sites and slow unbinding kinetics in titration-based oscillators”, Karapetyan, Sargis, and Nicolas E. Buchler,Physical Review E 92.6 (2015): 062712. Abstract Genetic oscillators, such as circadian clocks, are constantly perturbed by molecular noise arising from the small number of molecules involved in gene regulation. One of the strongest …

We will discuss about “Optimal control of aging in complex networks”, Sun, Eric D., Thomas CT Michaels, and L. Mahadevan, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 117.34 (2020): 20404-20410. Abstract Many complex systems experience damage accumulation, which leads to aging, manifest as an increasing probability of system collapse with time. This naturally raises the question …

We will discuss about “Analytical time-dependent distributions for gene expression models with complex promoter switching mechanisms”,Jia, Chen, and Youming Li, BioRxiv (2022). Abstract Classical gene expression models assume exponential switching time distributions between the active and inactive promoter states. However, recent experiments have shown that many genes in mammalian cells may produce non-exponential switching time …
