I will talk about some of our recent work on analyzing (meta)genome assembly graphs, including work on visualizing sequence information and on identifying prophage insertions based on graph structure. I will then discuss some other interesting properties of these graphs and some future directions.
The talk will be hybrid (both in IRB 4105 and on Zoom). Here is the Zoom link:

Marcus is a postdoc in Mihai Pop's lab at the University of Maryland. He develops methods to help people study microbiome sequencing data in high resolution, with foci in data visualization and metagenome assembly. He holds a MS and PhD in Computer Science from UC San Diego, and a BS in Computer Science from UMD.
