Now preserved in a climate-controlled freezer at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Ötzi's body and accompanying artifacts provide a window into life in Europe during the Copper Age.</p> <p>The mummy also provided a number of medical surprises. Although we think of Lyme disease as a new phenomenon that originated in Connecticut, Ötzi was infected with the Lyme disease microbe. His diet was filled with unprocessed, natural foods, yet he suffered from atherosclerosis. Most mysteriously, Ötzi died from an arrow shot to the back—his murderer had followed him up to the 10,200 foot pass where his body was found.</P> <p>The museum tour is open to all ages, with a participating chaperone 18 or older required for students under 13.</p> </p> <p class="small">*IMPORTANT NOTICE*<br> Due to the ongoing situation with COVID-19, City Tech policy is that all adult visitors and chaperones must show proof of full vaccination (defined as two weeks after the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine or two weeks after the two-shot Moderna or Pfizer vaccine) in order to enter the building.

Key to this effort will be access to high-quality genomes and annotations for agricultural species and their pests. The genomes of many plants have been sequenced over the past decade, but these are usually limited to one reference assembly. The available genomes are often fragmented and missing complex repeat regions—and so lack sufficient high-level representation of genes and functional variation within a species. We are now entering an era where genome assemblies are reaching a theoretical maximum of contiguity and completeness—at ~0.1% the cost of 10 years ago. This provides an unprecedented opportunity to access genomic information to dissect complex agronomic traits and to provide insights into species evolution.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-1 outer-top-xs inner-left-xs border-left text-left"> <img class="pull-left inner-right-xs" src="/assets/images/ware2-thumb.jpg" alt="Doreen Ware, smiling woman outdoors" > <p class="text-small"><strong>Doreen Ware</strong> is recognized as a leader in plant genomics and bioinformatics.

All agricultural commodities are negatively impacted by pests, either directly in the field or indirectly through the supply chain. Molecular diagnostics to identify and manage threats in agriculture lag behind diagnostic applications in the medical sciences, despite deep connections between agriculture and human health. In this webinar, I describe the diagnostic biotechnology used at the National Agricultural Genotyping Center (NAGC) and how diagnostic data provide insights into emerging threats across the agricultural community. Specifically, I discuss research underway at NAGC that helps: 1) identify drivers of colony losses impacting the honeybee industry, 2) quickly detect herbicide resistant weeds, and 3) measure environmental pathogen densities to develop predictive models for crop diseases. While the research is diverse in scope, the diagnostic methods take advantage of a commonality across all pests and pathogens—the genetic code.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-1 outer-top-xs inner-left-xs border-left text-left inner-bottom-xs"> <img class="pull-left inner-right-xs" src="/assets/images/bateson2-thumb.jpg" alt="Zach Bateson; smiling man on light-colored background" > <p class="text-small">Trained as a population geneticist, <strong>Zack Bateson</strong> has used bioinformatics and molecular diagnostics for the last 15 years to investigate issues in conservation genetics and agriculture.

The fruit abnormality, mantled, is a somaclonal variant arising from tissue culture that drastically reduces yield—and has largely halted efforts to clone elite hybrids for oil production. Using epigenome wide association studies, we found that loss of methylation of a LINE retrotransposon related to rice <em>Karma</em> predicts mantled fruit. Identifying “bad Karma” in cloned plantlets allows growers to cull mantled palms before they reach the field. Since many palms in a given plantation are low-yielding, the broad introduction of high-performing clones promises to reduce the land needed to meet world requirements for palm oil.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-1 outer-top-xs inner-left-xs border-left text-left"> <img class="pull-left inner-right-xs" src="/assets/images/martienssen-thumb.jpg" alt="Rob Martienssen; man on blue background" > <p class="text-small"><strong>Rob Martienssen </strong>studies epigenetic mechanisms that shape and regulate the genome, and their impact on transposable elements, first discovered by Barbara McClintock at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. These mechanisms underlie clonal propagation of oil palm, with implications for rain forest conservation, and of aquatic plants, including the humble duckweed, that are being engineered in the Martienssen lab for biofuel production and carbon sequestration. The link between epigenetics and RNA interference was named “Breakthrough of the Year” by Science magazine in 2002. Dr. Martienssen joined the faculty at Cold Spring Harbor in 1989. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He was awarded the McClintock Prize in 2018 and the Darwin Medal in 2020.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> </main> <!-- ====== MAIN : END ====== --> <!-- ====== FOOTER : END ======== --> <!-- CSHL
