11/07/202512:00MARIE CURIEPRBB-CRG SessionsMichael RosbashDepartment of Biology, Brandeis UniversityLeveraging Drosophila circadian biology reveals a neurodegeneration-aging-cancer connectionHost: Juan ValcárcelAbstract:I will describe some lessons learned (and others still not learned) during my long career, and I will then segue to circadian rhythms with an emphasis on personal history and neuroscience. I will spend about the last half of the time on recent experiments from my lab that are responsible for the enigmatic title.

TOGA 2.0 provides several new features, among them deep learning-based splice site predictions, which enable the method to cope with exon boundary shifts and evolutionary exon-intron structure changes.
