[09/20/2017] Biomarker Development from Deep Transcriptome Profiling and the Depth of Sequencing Required

September 17, 2017

Location: E2-599, UCSC Campus When: Wednesday September 20, 2017 3:30-4:30 PM Speaker: Anthony Schweitzer Abstract: Technologies such as next generation sequencing are showing us brief glimpses of the enormous complexities within our cells transcriptomes. Non-coding RNAs and alternative splicing events are new sources of biomarker development. These biomarkers help identify risk for disease, diagnose disease, guide treatment…

[Thursday, September 21, 2017] Structurally conserved primate lncRNAs are transiently expressed during human cortical differentiation and influence cell type specific genes

September 15, 2017

Thursday, September 21, 2017 – 2:00 pm Location – Biomedical Sciences, Room 200 Host – Professor David Haussler Abstract: The cerebral cortex has undergone rapid changes in size and complexity in the primate lineage, yet the molecular processes underlying primate brain development are poorly understood. We have developed a common protocol for generating cortical organoids…
