The computational process of deciphering the sequence composition of the genetic material (DNA) within the cell of an organism, using numerous short sequences called reads derived from different portions of the target DNA as input.

In this session we will use a set of reads enriched for viral sequences and sequences from wastewater treatment plants. Specifically the aim is to assemble whole SARS-CoV-2 genomes from such...
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...
SARS-CoV-2 is an emergent virus. Specifically how it will adapt to human hosts and populations with growing immunity is unknown. Coronaviruses acquire substitutions more slowly than other RN...
Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be...

Date: June 8, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) Most deaths from ovarian and endometrial cancer are due to high-grade subtypes that metastasize before they are detectable by available...
Controlling the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and ensuring a return to 'normal' activities in a post-COVID world requires two complementary efforts: 1) Widespread a...
Microbial communities include distinct lineages of closely related organisms which have proved challenging to separate in metagenomic assembly. Challenges include the existence of highly rel...
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-...
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)...
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,...
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...
The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) to pathogenic microbes is a major concern in modern medicine. Antibiotic therapies are often rendered ineffective by horizontal acquisiti...
HIV currently infects almost 40 million people worldwide. The virus is responsible for ~2 million new infections per year and ~1 million deaths. Like all retroviruses, HIV integrates a viral...
To establish productive infection, plant viruses need to be able to efficiently invade and spread within a plant. Most viruses are introduced into a plant via the epidermal or mesophyll cell...
Human chromosome 19q13.4 contains genes encoding killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). The region has certain properties such as single nucleotide variation, structural variation,...
The regions of our genome responsible for encoding the genes that regulate our immune response are some of the most complex and polymorphic known. This complexity encompasses multiple types...
