OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Genetics and genomics of human sperm production
Male gametogenesis is a fascinating biological system which offers numerous research opportunities at the intersection of medicine, evolution, and genome biology. In this seminar I will discuss our ongoing work to develop genome sequencing into a useful diagnostic assay for the clinical management of male infertility. This work has inspired the development of novel statistical approaches to identify potential disease causing genotypes from n=1 cases of infertility, as well as novel experimental methods to validate these variants in vivo.
