RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful method of transcript analysis that allows for the sequence identification and quantification of cellular transcripts. RNA-seq has many applications including differential gene expression (DE) analysis, gene fusion detection...

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has announced funding for three new projects at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute to support the Human Cell Atlas,..

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are generated by backsplicing of immature RNA forming covalently closed loops of intron/exon RNA molecules. Pervasiveness, evolutionary conservation, massive and regulated expression, and posttranscriptional regulatory roles of circRNAs in eukaryotes have been...

Start date: 16 May 2018 End date: 17 May 2018 Time: 09h00 – 17h00 Venue: Earlham Institute Organiser: Iain Macaulay Enquiries: training@earlham.ac.uk Registration deadline: 08 May 2018...

The B-cell receptor (BCR) performs essential functions for the adaptive immune system including recognition of pathogen-derived antigens. The vast repertoire and adaptive variation of BCR sequences due to V(D)J recombination and somatic...

Study could help researchers target cancer-specific processes for cancer prevention or to develop treatments New research on bowel cancer has shown that every tumour is different, and that every cell within the tumour is also genetically unique. In the first ...

Identifying regulons of sigma factors is a vital subtask of gene network inference. Integrating multiple sources of data is essential for correct identification of regulons and complete gene regulatory...

Human stem cells have shown potential in medicine as they can transform into various specialized cell types such as bone and cartilage cells. The current approach to obtain such specialized cells is to subject stem cells to specialized instructive protein ...

Find out everything you need to know about the techniques behind RNA sequencing. We decode the terminology, explain strandedness, single/paired-end reads and read length/depth so you can make the...

We are looking for a Bioinformatics/Scientist to provide dedicated bioinformatic support to the newly formed RNA Biology Laboratory in the Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute. The RNA Biology Laboratory carries out cutting-edge...
