SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tools and Technology Seminar by Michelle Kim
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nUnderstanding the genetic basis of complex traits in admixed populations is challenging due to diverse genetic backgrounds\, particularly for highly prevalent diseases. Misinterpreting admixture’s impact can have significant consequences for biomedical research. This study employs advanced computational biology to investigate how admixture shapes the genetic architecture of complex traits and influences GWAS outcomes. Using the forward-in-time population genetic simulator SLiM\, we model trait evolution under admixture by varying the relationship between causal variant effect sizes and selection coefficients while accounting for population size changes and migration across five admixture scenarios. \n\nOur findings reveal that GWAS power is influenced by genetic architecture and population demographic history. Traits with weak correlations between effect size and fitness (e.g.\, anthropometric traits) show higher GWAS power compared to traits with stronger correlations (e.g.\, genetic diseases). Populations with recent bottlenecks exhibit higher GWAS power\, highlighting the role of rare variants. Surprisingly\, fine- mapping ability remains consistent across traits. Empirical validation using data from diverse populations\, including the All of Us database\, supports our simulation predictions. For anthropometric traits like height\, common variants exhibit moderate effects\, while for traits like malignant neoplasms\, rare variants show larger effects and common variants minimal effects. \n\nBy integrating population and complex trait genetics\, this study provides insights into how population history shapes genetic architecture and heritability. Our findings improve understanding of genetic studies in diverse populations\, enabling more accurate biomedical applications and personalized medicine strategies. \n\nAbout The Tools & Technology Seminar Series\n\nThe DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar Series is held in Palmer Commons\, Room 2036\, each Thursday at 12pm EST. Each seminar highlights a computational tool\, technology\, or methodology that is under development or in current use and is of special interest to DCMB and University researchers. Presenters are U-M researchers and students.\n\nThese seminars are live-streamed and recorded and made available for future viewing via the DCMB YouTube Channel.

SUMMARY:Well-being:U-M Farm Stand
DESCRIPTION:New location\, same Farm Stand! Join the U-M Sustainable Food Program (SL Sustainability) and the Campus Farm (Matthaei Botanical Gardens) every Thursday from 12-3pm to get produce grown by students for students. While the Diag is under construction\, the Farm Stand will park just west of the North University Building. As always\, students get a 30% discount and revenue from the Farm Stand will support the Student Food Empowerment Fund\, which offers grants to students and student organizations to pursue student-powered sustainable food projects on and off-campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays 12-5 pm\nFridays 12-11 pm\nSelected Saturdays 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Division Street Pipes
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us as undergraduate student Ben Sidoti performs a 30-minute organ recital.\n\nThe University of Michigan Organ Department presents Division Street Pipes - the organ recital series at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church that brought weekly joy to attendees during its first season earlier this year - returns and will continue through early December.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts take place on Thursdays at 12:15 pm. Each recital features talented students and faculty of the U-M Organ Department. These 30-minute performances are free and open to the public\, and audience members are invited to enjoy their lunch while listening. The series is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Organ Department and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in an effort to bring organ music to local audiences while connecting U-M organ students with the wider community. Concerts offer attendees the opportunity to hear the versatility of the pipe organ beyond a worship setting. \n\nPerformances begin on September 11\, 2025 at 12:15pm and will occur every Thursday until December 4 (with the exception of November 27\, Thanksgiving). You can be sure that each week\, you will be in for a thrilling musical experience.
