Happy Pi Day from EMGS! Today we celebrate π, a constant that reminds us how essential precision, pattern, and curiosity are to scientific discovery. Every calculation, model, and dataset brings us closer to understanding genome integrity and environmental impacts on human health. Here’s to our researchers who keep pushing the boundaries of what we can measure, model, and imagine. #PiDay #EMGS #Genomics #Mutagenesis

The 18th episode of Western Biology Evolution Seminars is now live HERE: #episode-18" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">evobioseries.com/#episode-18 In this episode, an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and biologists from Western, Waterloo, and Guelph (Monireh Safari, Joseph Butler, Gurjit Randhawa, Kathleen Hill, and Lila Kari) present, "Life at the extremes: revealing an environment-type watermark pervading extremophile genomes". The talk covers a wide range of topics - from the domains of cellular life, to Chaos Game Representation (CGR) of genome-wide signatures to k-mer frequencies and the genomic watermark of living in the extremes. New episodes are constantly being recorded.
