The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture, signifying beauty, strength, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman, Tanisha Kennedy, Felecia McDaniel, Shantell Elaine McCoy, Tamara Lynn Myles, and Veleria Banks.\r\n\r\nThrough their narratives and portraits, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\r\n\r\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21, 2025 to August 8, 2025. This exhibition is presented with support from IRWG, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, and Michigan Medicine. \r\n\r\nLocated on the first floor of Lane Hall (204 S.

Platforms now offer bundled analysis support, and researchers use commercial or open-source systems (e.g., nf-Core\/Seqera, Epi2Me, Illumina Partek).\r\n\r\nOther informatics cores at U-M have also expanded, and labs are gaining computational skills. Despite this, bioinformatics still presents challenges and frustrations for many researchers. Changes at the NIH may also impact the availability of bioinformatics support.\r\n\r\nTo address these issues, we aim to engage the research community and ensure the BRCF Bioinformatics Core meets evolving needs. We are gathering feedback through focus groups, surveys, and town halls:\r\n\r\nJoin us for coffee, cookies, and an open discussion of bioinformatics needs. \r\n\r\nNCRC - Monday, May 12, 10:00 am - 11:00 am, Building 10, Rooms G063\/G064 --> This event will be rescheduled.\r\nMed Campus - Thursday, May 15, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, Taubman Health Sciences Library (THSL), Room 6000\r\n\r\nRegister today! https:\/\/forms.gle\/Br2Zex7Uv7zT7UNg6\r\n\r\nCan't make the town halls?

Changes in the climate such as increased temperature and precipitation, which causes excess loading of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from runoff into waterways, promote proliferation of cHABs. Microcystis spp. are often the dominant genera in freshwater cHABs globally and produce the cyanotoxin microcystin, which has hepatotoxic effects. In the western basin of Lake Erie, annual cHABs dominated by Microcystis spp. have occurred May through September for over four decades, often yielding microcystin concentrations exceeding the World Health Organization and United States federal Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s drinking water guideline of 1-1.6\u00b5g\/L.\r\n\r\nIn this dissertation, three studies used genomic analyses to identify specific cyanobacterial genotypes involved in cyanotoxin production and investigated how they interact with other microbes in cHABs, leveraging Lake Erie as a model system for similar blooms in other regions. In Chapter 2, single-copy core genes were identified as markers of Microcystis strain diversity and were found via comparative genomics to resolve Microcystis phylogenies better than previously identified marker genes. The markers identified were also found to be useful in inferring Microcystis gene content and phenotypes such as potential production of secondary metabolites such as cyanotoxins. Chapter 3 characterized and linked mcy genotypes with microcystin congeners via spatiotemporal profiling. Results show that the diversity of microcystin congener type is due to a combination of environmental and genetic diversity. Even with genetic diversity not being the sole driver of congener diversity, specific single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified to be associated with biochemically important domains within the mcy operon and to be strongly correlated to the increased abundance of specific congeners. Lastly, in chapter 4, the cyanobacterium Pseudanabaena, which is commonly associated with\r\nMicrocystis and inhabits the Microcystis phycosphere, was genetically and metabolomically characterized to provide insight potential interactions between these two organisms. Pseudanabaena was found to have the capability to produce many different compounds which could have mutualistic and potentially allelopathic effects on Microcystis and its associated microbiome. Together, these studies highlight the genetic variability in cyanobacteria and how it can be an indicator of production for specific natural compounds such as cyanotoxins, which could influence how the organism interacts with other community members and its impact on the environment. Additionally, it serves as a basis for future studies to elucidate mechanisms of genetic regulation of production of microcystins.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"135369-21876759@events.umich.edu",
