DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. 
 The decision has been made out of an abundance of caution with the health a
 nd well-being of our guests and community in mind. We hope to have a new da
 te soon.\n\nJoin us for a seminar on "The Social Network of Microbiomes” wi
 th Dr. Giri Narasimhan\, Professor\, Bioinformatics Research Group (BioRG)\
 ; School of Computing and Information Sciences\, Florida International Univ
 ersity.  The seminar will take place on Friday\, March 20\, 3 pm in AHC3 21
 4.\n\nMicrobial communities found in nature are not diverse\, dynamic\, and
  display a wide variety of beneficial and harmful interactions within the c
 ommunity and with their environment. Not unlike the characteristics of a hu
 man “social network\,” their interactions can be complex. Microbiomes are t
 ypically studied using next generation sequencing technologies. Standard an
 alysis pipelines can help in understanding the composition of microbiomes a
 nd their diversity. They can help identify differential abundant microbial 
 taxa between two or more cohorts. This talk will discuss how to advance the
  state-of-the-art in microbiome analysis by focusing on the study of intera
 ctions within the community.\n\nNetwork-based approaches can help in inferr
 ing groups of competing and cooperating microbial taxa\, lend themselves to
  generalized inferences from multi-omics datasets\, allow for inferring rel
 ative importance of entities in the microbiome\, allow for inferring direct
 ional relationships\, allow for inferring temporal relationships in longitu
 dinal datasets\, and even allow for inferring causal relationships. He will
  also discuss the implementation of efficient software pipelines through pl
 ugins\, the role of high-performance computing in microbiome analysis\, and
  validation of some of the interactions in the laboratory.
