| 10:00 - 11:00 Weekly Seminar Quantification of the effect of metabolism on the epigenome of human cancers School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Altered DNA and histone methylation are common in cancer and often considered early events in tumorigenesis. However, the sources of heterogeneity of DNA methylation among tumors remain poorly defined. We previously showed that the status of methionine metabolism is sufficient to determine levels of histone methylation by modulating levels of metabolites in the methionine cycle. Modulation of methionine in diet led to changes in metabolism and histone methylation in the liver. Here we capitalize on the availability of multi-platform data on thousands of human tumors to build integrative models of DNA methylation. We quantify the contribution ... 11:00 - 12:00 Theory Weekly Seminar(TWS) Universality of Area Product: Solutions with Conical Singularity School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS Abstract: It has been observed that the area product of horizons for many black hole solutions is mass independent and satisfy the universality relation A+A?= (8?)2N, whereNis related to the quantized charges of the solution as angular momentum and electric charge. In this work, the same analysis is done for black hole and black ring solutions with conical singularity. We find that the area product is still mass-independent and regardless of the horizon topology, the conical characteristic (?) of the solutions, ap-pears in the universality relation as?A+A?= (8?)2N. We also check that the firstlaw of black hole inner mechanics is satisfied for ... |
