Visualization Goes High-Tech with launch of Viz Lab

An aerial image of a Colombian shantytown appeared on the large display screen with such clarity that the people gathered for the demonstration could identify the types and number of garments hanging from a clothesline on the rooftop of a shack. Demonstrations of the Viz Lab 2D and 3D walls were presented at the Viz Lab Open House on January 14, 2016. Read more “Visualization Goes High-Tech with launch of Viz Lab” →

Network Science Seminar, Thursday 1/28/2016

Network science is a mature discipline, and in both systems biology and systems medicine applications, offers a variety of methodological tools useful for integrative inference purposes, elucidating in particular molecular interactions of various type and complexity. An advantage that networks offer refers to representation, interpretation, and visualization properties in systems’ embedded modular configurations. The clusters of genes or proteins that one observes grouped into communities, are reducing de facto the degrees of freedom and reorganizing cellular networks according to a mix of localized characteristics reflecting gene—gene and protein—protein spatio-temporal associative dynamics.

Non-Coding RNAs Profiling in Head and Neck Cancers

The majority of studies on human cancers published to date focus on coding genes. More recently, however, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are gaining growing recognition as important regulatory components. Here we characterise the ncRNA landscape in 442 head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCs) from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA). Read more “Non-Coding RNAs Profiling in Head and Neck Cancers” →

Regions of Homozygosity Identified by Oligonucleotide SNP Arrays

This study demonstrates that ROHs are much more frequent than previously recognized and often reflect parental relatedness, ascertain autosomal recessive diseases or unravel UPD in many cases. Read more “Regions of Homozygosity Identified by Oligonucleotide SNP Arrays” →

Smart Cities Lunch & Learn, Thursday 12/3/2015

Smart Cities, Big Data and Communities: Reasoning from the Viewpoint of Attractors In what sense is a city smart? There are established entities defining this rich area of cross-disciplinary studies, and they refer to social, technical, economic and political factors that keep evolving, thus offering opportunities for constant refinement of the concept of smart city. The emerging properties are mostly contextual, and affect urban data types and their capacity to form complex information systems. Read more “Smart Cities Lunch & Learn, Thursday 12/3/2015” →

Miami Takes Center Stage as Ground Zero for Climate…

UM Provost Thomas J. LeBlanc looked out at the gathering of scientists, researchers, students, and government officials and told them the issues of climate change and sustainability “are first and foremost on everyone’s mind” at the University of Miami. So it was appropriate that on Friday, November 13, 2015, the University’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) co-hosted a conference on climate change with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the international Geneva-based organization created by the United Nations to educate the world about climate change and its impact.

Viz UM: Drawing Out Big Data for the Public…

Computational science and journalism students dive deep into data and discover new ways to visually represent their findings to non-scientific audiences. If you’ve ever spent time analyzing financial reports at a corporate meeting, or analyzing reports from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, you likely enjoy the process more when the data is accompanied by interactive graphics to illuminate key findings. Yet who exactly conceives and creates all of the detailed charts, maps, and info-graphics that appear regularly in newspapers to break down complex topics such as The New York Times report on refugee distribution across Europe? Or websites that provide real-time data about police shootings across the USA such as The Counted, or global warming facts via an animated timeline in the Bloomberg Business report What’s Really Warming the World?
