The summer applied genomics seminar series is a weekly talk series held on Wednesdays from 4-5pm in Wegmans 1005 to learn and engage in applied problems in genomics. The series will include short presentations from students, trainees, and faculty on current research problems with an emphasis on pragmatic solutions. Presentations will be followed by a discussion to enhance practical understanding and assessment of genomics approaches, methods and computational analyses. The seminar series is run as part of the Goergen Institute for Data Science MS program in applied genomics and is open to students and faculty interested in application of genomics and genome technologies to problems in biology. 

The final seminar of the summer on August 6, 2025 will feature McKayla Ford, a graduate student from the Biomedical Genetics and Genomics Program at University of Rochester, discussing "Evolution in Replicate Avian Hybrid Zones."
