OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
