💬 "There’s so much we can learn from others who are applying single-cell approaches to very different questions. And, thanks to the range of technologies and biological systems being studied at the Earlham Institute, this is an ideal place to bring the diverse single-cell community together.” Exploring the latest themes in #singlecell genomics https://okt.to/2qcp0I #longreadsequencing #microbialcommunities #spatialtranscriptomics

Our latest podcast episode is just out! 🎙️ In this explainer episode, Mathilde Leblond answers some of the frequently asked questions from parents about the Generation Study 👇

Science Spotlight 👨🔬🔬 Ryan Pfeiffer, senior research associate in the Tucker lab, is pushing the boundaries of molecular genomics. "Our organs are complex structures, made up of many different types of cells," Ryan said. "While traditional research of human disease has taken place at the organ level like a heart, my main focus is studying the genomics of human disease at the single cell level."

🧬 At the forefront of research involving long-read sequence data, JAX's Christine Beck, PhD, & Peter Audano discuss how adjustments to the technical and analytical infrastructure are needed to make the most of this data in their recent Genome Research paper:

My new publication is in the plant evolution and genomics field.

Up next, we have a thought-provoking presentation by Drs. Robert Green MD, MPH and Ingrid Holm titled "Broadening Diversity in Genomics: The BabySeq Experience." Scheduled for 1:00 PM to 1:15 PM, this session will delve into the vital importance of diversity in genomic research and how the BabySeq project aims to enhance representation within the field. Join us as we explore strategies for fostering inclusivity in genomics and the positive impact of diverse perspectives on research outcomes. #ICoNS2024 #DiversityInGenomics #BabySeq

NEW: Our own Professor Sunduz Keles, a leading researcher at the intersection of statistics and genomics, has been awarded funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative! Prof. Keles and Prof. Emery Bresnick from the UW School of Medicine and Public Health will lead a project entitled "Multi-Modal Single Cell Data Tensors For Gene-Enhancer Links." The team will work to develolp new methods for understanding the complex relationship between genes and cells.
