In this webinar, we’ll use RNA-Seq data to explore how Zika could cause microcephaly. Using Partek Flow software, an easy-to-use and powerful bioinformatics tool, we’ll analyze Zika infected neuronal progenitor cells to reveal transcriptional changes caused by the virus. We’ll ...

Marco Onorati et al. describe the derivation and characterization, including single-cell RNA-seq, of neocortical and spinal cord neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells to model early human neurodevelopment and Zika virus (ZIKV)-related neuropathogenesis. By analyzing human NES cells, organotypic fetal brain slices, ...

RNA-seq analysis is becoming a standard method for global gene expression profiling. However, open and standard pipelines to perform RNA-seq analysis by non-experts remain challenging due to the large size of the raw data files and the hardware requirements for ...

from Newsweek by Jessica Firger A group of researchers say they’ve taken a critical step in proving the Zika virus is most likely the cause of a rising number of microcephaly cases in Brazil. An investigation conducted on lab cultures, ...
