Several smORF-encoded microproteins have been characterized and implicated in a variety of critical processes\, including regulation of mRNA decay\, DNA repair\, and muscle formation. Thus\, rigorous and comprehensive annotation of protein-coding smORFs is critical to our understanding of basic biology and physiology\, as well as disease. We recently developed an improved workflow that integrates de novo transcriptome assembly and ribosome profiling to overcome obstacles with previous methods to more confidently annotate thousands of novel smORFs across multiple human cell lines\, including hundreds encoded on putative non-coding RNAs. Over 1\,500 smORFs are found in two or more cell lines\, and ~40% lack a canonical AUG start codon. Evolutionary conservation analyses suggest that hundreds of smORF-encoded microproteins are likely functional. We also find that smORF-derived peptides are detectable on human leukocyte antigen complexes\, positioning smORFs as a source of novel antigens. The annotation of protein-coding smORFs radically alters the current view of the human genome’s coding capacity and will provide a rich pool of unexplored\, functional human genes.\n\nBIO: Thomas received his B.S. in Biological Engineering from MIT and trained in Prof. JoAnne Stubbe’s laboratory\, where he studied the mechanism of ribonucleotide reductase. He then recieved his Ph.D. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics from Caltech as an NIH NRSA predoctoral fellow under the mentorship of Prof. Peter Dervan. His thesis work focused primarily on characterizing the effects of DNA binding pyrrole-imidazole polyamides on DNA replication in prostate cancer cells. Thomas is currently an NIH NRSA postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Alan Saghatelian’s laboratory\, where he has developed an integrative platform combining ribosome profiling and de novo transcriptome assembly to discover functional smORF encoded microproteins in the human genome.

It was one of the most horrific examples of white supremacist terrorism in the history of the United States and knowledge of the event was actively suppressed for over fifty years. From May 31 to June 1\, 1921\, the Massacre saw the murder of hundreds of Black residents of the Greenwood neighborhood—a bustling and vibrant community known then as Black Wall Street—and more than one-thousand homes and businesses burned to the ground.\n \nAs we approach the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre\, we invite you to revisit a moment in 1999 when the New York Times Magazine published Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Brent Staples' article \"Unearthing a Riot\,\" which was the most significant national media coverage of the event at the time. Portraits of survivors made by renowned photojournalist and U-M alumnus Fred Conrad accompanied this important essay. In this program\, Staples and Conrad will be joined by U-M professor\, best-selling author\, and historian Scott Ellsworth\, author of newly published book The Ground Breaking: An American City and Its Search for Justice\, who will facilitate a conversation that will expand our understanding of what has been involved in making the history of Tulsa more visible and\, by extension\, illuminating the ever-present reality of racial terror and the resiliency of Black communities in our country.\n \nAlso featuring an introduction by Matthew Countryman\, chair of the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, and a Q&A facilitated by Jennifer Friess\, UMMA associate curator of photography.\n \nThis program will be livestreamed on YouTube at 4 p.m. on May 17. No registration required.   Brent Staples\, an editorial writer for The New York Times\, was awarded the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. He is the author of the memoir Parallel Time and holds a Phd in Psychology from The University of Chicago.\n \nFred Conrad is a photographer specializing in photojournalism and portraiture.

In parallel\, the research group exploits design principles nature utilizes and develops synthetic microbial consortia technologies to address critical needs faced by our society such as sustainable biofuel and chemical production.\n\nAbstract: Microbes are everywhere in nature and they live in diverse communities that show remarkable metabolic capabilities and robustness. One research thrust in my lab has been to employ engineering related tools to study these naturally occurring microbial consortia in order to discover underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. In particular\, we have been developing a technological pipeline\, based on nanoliter-scale microfluidic droplets\, to co-cultivate sub-communities and characterize member interactions that shape the community structure and function. In this talk\, I will present a number of technological modules we have created and are developing. I’ll also discuss how we are applying this toolbox\, jointly with our collaborators\, to the investigation of several microbiomes closely related to human health or the environment.\n\nZoom Meeting: https://umich.zoom.us/j/92773919973 UID:84064-21619785@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84064 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Drug Discovery,Life Science,Pre Med,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210513T121505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210519T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210519T103000 SUMMARY:Auditions:Desis Café DESCRIPTION:Desis Café is a virtual event that provides a space where DESIS Lab participants from across the globe can meet\, talk about their activities\, expectations\, thoughts\, research\, and projects. \n\nThis event is hosted by Stamps Professor Audrey G.

The crisis made clear the weaknesses in our economic and health security programs that are supposed to protect people when hard times hit while also showing in the starkest terms the stark inequities across lines of race\, ethnicity\, gender\, and immigration that long pre-dated the pandemic. Parrott will talk about the impacts of the health and economic crisis across different groups\, both the strengths and weaknesses of our public response to the crisis\, the opportunity for long-term\, systemic policy changes that could broaden opportunity\, reduce poverty and inequality\, narrow disparities\, and move us toward universal health coverage\, and the challenges to achieving these policy goals. Parrott will also reflect on the “long arc” of policy change and the forces that can create and stymie change.\n\nFor more information and to register\, please visit our website: https://ssw.umich.edu/assets/centennial/?page=event-details&nid=62603 UID:83998-21619323@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/83998 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Alumni,community health care workers,Health Disparities,school of social work,social work LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20210519T160129 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20210519T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20210519T170000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Join us!

There is no easy access to brain tissue from living people.  Using induced pluripotent stem cells offers the first opportunity to model the activity of brain and nerve cells from individuals with bipolar disorder. Samples from skin are ‘induced’ to form pluripotent stem cells that can subsequently be prompted to grow into nerve cells.  Shortly after this technology was developed\, the Prechter Bipolar Research Program expanded to include Sue O’Shea\, PhD\, Professor\, in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology who works on pluripotent stem cells.  Individuals with a history of bipolar disorder and non-bipolar controls provided skin samples that were grown into stem cells and then nerve cells.  Over the past decade this work has expanded to include a multisite collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania\, the Salk Institute\, Sanford Burnham Institute\, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals.  Several significant findings have included the consistent characteristic of premature excitability of nerve cells derived from individuals with bipolar disorder\, the abnormal behaviors of astrocytes\, and the apparent dysfunction of exosomes.  These patterns are leading towards the identification of target pathways that may be suitable for pharmaceutical intervention.  \n\nU-M PANEL DISCUSSION\n\nPanel Moderator: Melvin G.

The Satsuma domain invaded the Ryukyus in 1609 and turned it into a “hidden colony” vis-a-vis Ming/Qing China so that it could continue to funnel Chinese goods and culture into its domain via the Ryukyus without offending either China or the Tokugawa bakufu’s “closed country” (sakoku) policy. After the newly established Meiji government invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom and annexed it as Okinawa Prefecture in 1879\, it once again kept it as a “hidden colony” vis-a-vis the international community. Today\, modern Japan\, and now also the US\, continue to hide Okinawa’s colonial condition in order to concentrate US military bases on the islands in the interests of both.\n \n Ifa Fuyū (1876-1947)\, the “father of Okinawan studies\,” argued that Ryukyuan political and cultural life peaked in the 16th century when it could openly dazzle with the kaleidoscopic brilliance of all cultures that touched the lives of the Ryukyuan people. However\, from the 17th century forward\, Okinawa could only be seen in the ever shifting shadows of a constellation of moving sovereign states. Its dynamism—its “doubleness”—has been routinely flattened out into a singularity that is consumed by surrounding sovereign powers. This can be seen in Okinawa’s modern-day postcolonial predicament of a concentrated US military base presence that is enabled by the popular will of the Japanese people. For American statesmen\, Okinawa is simply “one part of Japan” and therefore not a US problem\, and for more progressive politics\, Okinawa is victim to US (military) imperialism and white supremacy. For Japanese statesmen\, Okinawa is simply ignored\, and for more progressive politics\, Okinawa is again victim to US (military) imperialism and white supremacy. However\, Okinawans have recently been problematizing the fact that it is the Japanese government who funds the US military bases and decides to concentrate them in Okinawa\, and the will of the Japanese people who are happy with this arrangement that guarantees Japanese economic and political stability.\n \n Hence\, when thinking of Okinawa transpacifically\, which Okinawa do we prioritize? The Okinawa in the shadows of the US\, or the Okinawa in the shadows of Japan? In this webinar\, I will put Ifa in conversation with his contemporary W.E.B. Du Bois to imagine a global politics of the color line in which doubleness is not suppressed but becomes a driving liberatory force for what Ifa called an “age of sweetness” (ama yū) after colonialism.\n \n Annmaria Shimabuku is the Director of Graduate Studies and Associate Professor at NYU. Her research is centered in the intersection of postcolonial Japanese Studies\, Okinawan Studies\, and literary/political theory.\n \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us.

Within Afghanistan\, government officials and ordinary citizens are fearful that an American exit could leave a beleaguered population at the mercy of the Taliban. How can the U.S. avoid a repeat of the 1975 Indochina withdrawal\, which contributed to the rise of Cambodia’s genocidal Khmer Rouge regime? Associate Professor of Public Policy\, John D. Ciorciari\, will discuss the ways in which governments and ordinary citizens can help reduce the risk of genocide.
