TITLE: "A lack of distinct cellular identities in scRNA-seq data: revisiting Waddington’s landscape". ABSTRACT: Single-cell RNA sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding of development, differentiation and disease. Analysis of this data is often challenging, however, […]
TITLE: "Swab-Seq: Detecting COVID-19 with Genomic Sequencing: From bench to vending machine." ABSTRACT: At UCLA we developed one of the only novel technologies for COVID-19 diagnostic testing that was deployed […]
TITLE: “Integrative systems analysis, applications, and challenges of single cell multiomics.” ABSTRACT: Recent advances in single cell multiomics technologies such as single cell RNA-seq, single cell ATAC-seq, and spatial transcriptomics […]
TITLE: "Exploration of human genetic and phenotypic diversity through cell villages". ABSTRACT: Our species is characterized by an immense diversity in neurological and psychological traits. Common and rare genetic variants have […]
The workshop introduces Cytoscape (https://cytoscape.org/) – an open source platform for retrieval and visualization of complex biological interactions that are available from public interaction resources: The IMEx Consortium (https://www.imexconsortium.org/), STRING […]
Galaxy (https://usegalaxy.org/) is a web-based infrastructure for bioinformatics application. First, this workshop introduces participants to using Galaxy for analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing data. Next, this workshop covers the structure of Galaxy, data format and manipulation, obtaining and sharing data, and building and sharing workflows. We will use the tools installed on the UCLA galaxy to […]
TITLE: "Predicting Biological Aging from Epigenetics." ABSTRACT: Epigenetics are a proven measure of cellular health. Therefore, a field of research has emerged that utilizes epigenetics to measure, treat, and potentially […]
TITLE: "Comprehensive study of gene expression outliers and their regulation mechanisms in pan-cancer." ABSTRACT: Cancer is a disease characterized by remarkable heterogeneity. Gene expression varies drastically between tumours and within […]
TITLE: "Heterogeneity in cell states: Is it important whether cell states are heritable or change rapidly?" ABSTRACT: Cells of the same cell type show molecular and phenotypic heterogeneity. Is the […]
TITLE: "scReadSim: a single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq read simulator." ABSTRACT: Rapid advances of single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq technologies have propelled the development of many computational tools, benchmarking of which demands […]
