Seminar Series

The Department of Computational Biology holds two regular seminar series featuring guests, faculty, and graduate students to highlight topics and the research relevant to the department and its community.

Archaic and Modern Humans: An Evolutionary History of Introgression and Natural Selection

In this talk, I will focus on identifying regions where archaic ancestry could have been a useful source of standing genetic variation as modern human populations adapted to new environments.
