We are back from the beach! Tonight, I watched Rosemary Bamford from the University of Exeter in the UK present at London Calling 2024 on “Full-length transcript atlas of the developing human cortex.” Bamford is from the Complex Disease Epigenomics Group, and they study disease-associated genomic variation. Bamford explained alternative splicing as a way of […]
Michael Dean from the National Cancer Institute spoke at London Calling 2022 about “Understanding cancer epigenetics, immunogenetics, and energetics.” Dean explained why they hate cancer and its impact on their family. Dean said that “cancer is more like a puzzle that has to be solved before you can have a rational solution.” The current analogy […]
Rosemary Bamford from the University of Exeter, UK, presented at London Calling 2022 on “Long-read transcriptome sequencing reveals isoform diversity across human neurodevelopment and aging.” Bamford spoke about how they are using long-read transcriptome sequencing to study neuropsychiatric disorders. I didn’t know neuropsychiatric disorders have such prevalence globally! There are some findings revealing genetic risk […]
Dan Turner leads the Applications Team at Oxford Nanopore Technologies and presented at London Calling 2022 a session entitled “A single platform for multi-omics.” Turner mentioned that they have developed a set of posters for different applications. They spoke about epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). They are able to analyze this process using Nanopore sequencing […]
