    Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness. – Virgil UMKC 87th Spring Commencement University of Missouri-Kansas City May 2020 A MESSAGE TO GRADUATES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS A MESSAGE TO GRADUATES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS Chancellor C. Mauli Agrawal, Ph.D. Chris Longly, EMBA Dear UMKC graduates and families: Wishing you the best in your next chapter. Congratulations! We take pride in recognizing our graduating students for completing one of life’s great Welcome to the UMKC alumni family! milestone achievements: a college degree. Starting today, you can count yourself among the more than 132,000 UMKC graduates who are making This year, the age-old tradition of commencement is taking a new form, as we cope with significant challenges a difference here in our community and in communities across the globe. The UMKC Alumni Association that previous graduating classes could scarcely have imagined. One thing that has not changed, however, is is more than just a group — it is a network, far-reaching and well-connected, offering real value for those the significance of this achievement. Years of effort and sacrifice — by our graduates and by the loved ones who engage and participate, especially in difficult times like those we find ourselves in. who stood behind them — led to this celebration of achievement and transition. Your degree is not only a credit to you but also to those who provided support and encouragement to you. There really are Roos everywhere, and your alumni association is your direct connection to that network. The association offers you the opportunity to maintain connection with classmates, tap our career and To reach this point, our graduates persevered through unprecedented challenges in the final months of their professional development resources and stay in touch with what’s happening on campus.

BMC Biology (2019) 17:92 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-019-0712-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic insights from the first chromosome-scale assemblies of oat (Avena spp.) diploid species Peter J. Maughan1* , Rebekah Lee1, Rachel Walstead2, Robert J. Vickerstaff3, Melissa C. Fogarty1, Cory R. Brouwer2, Robert R. Reid2, Jeremy J. Jay2, Wubishet A. Bekele4, Eric W. Jackson5, Nicholas A. Tinker4, Tim Langdon3, Jessica A. Schlueter2 and Eric N. Jellen1 Abstract Background: Cultivated hexaploid oat (Common oat; Avena sativa) has held a significant place within the global crop community for centuries; although its cultivation has decreased over the past century, its nutritional benefits have garnered increased interest for human consumption. We report the development of fully annotated, chromosome-scale assemblies for the extant progenitor species of the As- and Cp-subgenomes, Avena atlantica and Avena eriantha respectively. The diploid Avena species serve as important genetic resources for improving common oat’s adaptive and food quality characteristics. Results: The A. atlantica and A. eriantha genome assemblies span 3.69 and 3.78 Gb with an N50 of 513 and 535 Mb, respectively. Annotation of the genomes, using sequenced transcriptomes, identified ~ 50,000 gene models in each species—including 2965 resistance gene analogs across both species. Analysis of these assemblies classified much of each genome as repetitive sequence (~ 83%), including species-specific, centromeric-specific, and telomeric-specific repeats. LTR retrotransposons make up most of the classified elements. Genome-wide syntenic comparisons with other members of the Pooideae revealed orthologous relationships, while comparisons with genetic maps from common oat clarified subgenome origins for each of the 21 hexaploid linkage groups.

A common method used to prescribe buffer zones involves one or two measures of disturbance distance: ‘alert distance’ (AD), the distance between the disturbance source and the animal at the point where the animal changes its behaviour in response to the approaching disturbance source, and ‘flight initiation distance’ (FID), the point at which the animal flushes or otherwise moves away from the approaching disturbance source. Recommendations on ‘safe-working distances’ (essentially, buffer zones around breeding sites) have been made for a number of UK breeding bird species, but without any objective justification.

The syntR algorithm performs as well as previous ad-hoc methods while being systematic, 7 repeatable, and is applicable to mapping chromosomal rearrangements in any group of species.

  • 96Th Annual Honors Convocation
    96TH ANNUAL HONORS CONVOCATION MARCH 24, 2019 2:00 P.M. HILL AUDITORIUM This year marks the 96th Honors Convocation held at the University of Michigan since the first was instituted on May 13, 1924, by President Marion LeRoy Burton. On these occasions, the University publicly recognizes and commends the undergraduate students in its schools and colleges who have earned distinguished academic records or have excelled as leaders in the community. It is with great pride that the University honors those students who have most clearly and effectively demonstrated academic excellence, dynamic leadership, and inspirational volunteerism. The Honors Convocation ranks with the Commencement Exercises as among the most important ceremonies of the University year. The names of the students who are honored for out- standing achievement this year appear in this program. They include all students who have earned University Honors in both Winter 2018 and Fall 2018, plus all seniors who have earned University Honors in either Winter 2018 or Fall 2018. The William J.
