  • Multi-omic analyses and organoid models for identification of therapeutic vulnerabilities and developmental origins in childhood cancer

    Multi-omic analyses and organoid models for identification of therapeutic vulnerabilities and developmental origins in childhood cancer

    Dissertation Defense Lauren Sanders, PhD Candidate, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics Thursday, June 4, 2020 – 10:00 am Zoom – https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/95333252052 Abstract Pediatric cancers are different from adult cancers in that they often have few targetable DNA mutations, and in most cases are thought to be developmental in origin rather than environmental. While overall survival rates…

  • [Monday – November, 13 ] Accurate genotyping across variant classes and lengths using variant graphs

    Jonas Andreas Sibbesen University of Copenhagen Accurate genotyping across variant classes and lengths using variant graphs Monday, November 13, 2017 12:15 — 1:15 PM Engineering 2, Room 599 Abstract Genotype estimates from genome sequencing data are typically based solely on alignments of reads to a reference genome. This works well for simple variation like SNVs,…

  • [ Mon, November 20, 2017 ]Comparative Annotation Toolkit (CAT) – simultaneous annotation of related genomes

    Dissertation Defense – Ian Fiddes (BME) Mon Nov 20, 2017 11:30am – 2:30pm Pacific Time Location: BE-330, Engineering Abstract: The recent introductions of low-cost, long-read and read-set sequencing technologies coupled with intense efforts to develop efficient algorithms have made affordable, high-quality de-novo sequence assembly a realistic proposition. The result is an explosion of new, ultra…

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

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

    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

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

    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…
