NanoCellect will discuss the importance of cell sample preparation in order to obtain good quality sequencing data with 3’ RNA-Seq as well as cell sample preparation in order to obtain...
Date: April 20, 2021 Time: 11:00am (PST), 2:00pm (EST) Identification and confirmation of microbial isolates is crucial in the analysis workflow, providing decision-makers the information...
Date: April 20, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PST) In order to generate sufficient numbers of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) for downstream applications, three-dimensional (3D) suspension cultures offe...
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation, coupled with sequencing, has shaped our understanding of how transcriptional machinery interacts with genomes to facilitate gene regulation. These protein-DNA...
Structural variants (SVs) are essential in human evolution and genetic disease but remain understudied. This is especially the case for non-Caucasian ethnicities. We report, for the first ti...
Recently, long-read sequencing with high accuracy has become a reality. Previous technologies allowed for the detection of particular classes of genetic variation and/or have focused on pre-...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is best characterized as brain dysfunction caused by an outside force, usually a violent blow to the head, often occurring as a result of a severe sports injury...
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
Learning Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the utility of long-read RNA-sequencing in studying alternative isoforms 2. Define the long-Split-seq approach to profiling the transcriptomes of single-c...
Sex and gender differences are apparent in health and disease and aduring aging. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death with pronounced sex and gender differences...
The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear...
The Genome in a Bottle Consortium has published benchmarks for variant calling, but some challenging medically-relevant genes have been partially or fully excluded due to mapping challenges,...
Nanopore sequencing has enormous potential in epigenetic applications; unlike traditional sequencing-by-synthesis technologies, it can distinguish covalently modified nucleotides directly th...
The ability of single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) to measure the transcriptional basis of heterogeneity between individual cells is transforming biomedical research. It enables the precise &lsq...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
Many diseases show sex differences in incidence or progression, suggesting that one sex has inherent biological factors that protect from or exacerbate disease. Historically the root causes...
