TRPV6: An Actionable Susceptibility Locus in Cancer Disparities? An Examination of Recent Evidence

Description: Presentation on population-biased cancer disparities related to the TRPV6 gene. The presenter discusses the TRPV6 gene from evolutionary biology and structural biology standpoints, the role it plays in cancer, through a evolutionary-ecological model, and provides a synthesis of relevant research. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

A Constrained Stochastic Weather Generator for Daily Mean Air Temperature and Precipitation

Description: This article develops and tests a constrained stochastic weather generator (CSWG) for producing daily mean air temperature and precipitation based on annual mean air temperature and precipitation from tree-ring records. It presents a unique method that can be used to explore historic (e.g., archeological questions) or future (e.g., climate change) daily weather conditions based upon specified annual values.
