Inferring Genomic Histories of Structured Populations: Lessons from the Hominids
(2020-01-25)Demography is a major determinant of the variation of species. Understanding how it effects the genetic composition of populations allows us to infer history from genetic data. I contribute to this project in three ways. ... -
The effects of BMP4 on different in vitro models for mouse gastrulation and neural induction
(2019-10-26)Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) is a signaling protein involved in several key developmental processes, including gastrulation and neural induction. Gastrulation is an event that changes the topology of the embryo, ... -
Investigating the genetic diversity, population structure and archaic admixture history in worldwide human populations using high-coverage genomes
(2019-10-26)I present the analysis on 929 high-coverage (>30x) genomes from the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) panel, a collection of cell lines from 54 populations across the world. Some data processing steps were necessary ... -
Double-stranded RNA uptake in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2020-01-01)dsRNA uptake from the environment is a common phenomenon in many invertebrates and can be harnessed for acquiring pest control. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a transmembrane protein named systemic RNAi deficient-2 ...
