Comparative Genomics: is a field of biological research in which the genomic features of different organisms are compared. The genomic features may include the DNA sequence, genes, gene order, regulatory sequences, and other genomic structural landmarks.
I will discuss the development of the “Midnight” panel for faster, simpler, and less expensive SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing. We show that using a multiplexed set of primers in co...
The Human Microbiome Project was conceived almost 15 years ago, as an extension of the Human Genome Project, to explore the diversity of human-associated microorganisms at multiple body site...
Over 40 tandem repeats undergo expansion events that lead to neurological disease. This number is likely an underestimate as many repeats are difficult to amplify using existing short read s...
Date: June 29, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve and surveillance of variants is a necessity. Routine analysis of genetic sequence data allows the identif...
COVID-19 is a severe disease that has caused >1 million deaths in under one year. As this disease is novel, the molecular and cellular underpinnings of the progressive tissue injury are p...
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...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility (e.g., lineage B.1.1.7), and which appear to...
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...
We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
Date: January 28, 2021 Time: 7:00am (PST), 10:00am (EST) Many of the newly recognized clinically significant genetic markers in pediatric leukemias cannot be reliably detected by routine dia...
This drug development program is designed to create a family of broad-spectrum, pan-coronaviral drugs that respectively inhibit multiple key enzymes required for viral replication. By target...
The presentation will provide a review of major emerging zoonotic virus outbreaks from Hendra virus in 1994 in Australia to SARS-CoV-2 in China 2019 and our latest findings on bat biology an...
