However, a deeply sequenced tree of life poses many challenges for traditional bioinformatics approaches, ranging from computational complexity to alignment errors and blurred species boundaries. This talk will explore these issues and some emerging solutions that enable strain-level and gene-level characterization of microbiomes. These tools make it possible to link microbiome genotypes with human traits at biobank scale. A mixed modeling approach will be presented along with some examples for how it can be used to generate testable causal hypotheses.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><em style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text )\">About the speaker:<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong> Dr. Katherine S.

I will discuss how principled mathematical frameworks for quantifying privacy risk can deepen our understanding of genomic privacy while guiding the development of practical methods for privacy-preserving data sharing and analysis. I will highlight recent work on vulnerabilities in genome imputation services, linkage risks in transcriptomic data, and formal approaches for genetic association studies with privacy guarantees. I will conclude with an outlook on how community-driven efforts can accelerate progress in this area, enabling the scientific community to maximize the value of data sharing while safeguarding the individuals who make such research possible.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><em style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text )\">About the speaker:<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Hyunghoon (Hoon) Cho, PhD,<\/strong> is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics &amp; Data Science and of Computer Science at Yale.
