  • Sequencing NYC Subway bacteria????

    Hello fellow researchers!

    I have an exciting and ambitious project to present.

    My name is Jorge Gandara. I'm the wetlab manager for the research lab of Dr. Christopher Mason at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Our website is www.masonlab.net

    We are currently embarking on an ambitious project here in New York City. We have just taken swab samples at EVERY subway station in the NYC Subway system. Our goal is to extract DNA from all the bacteria we find and run the sequencing data through MetaPhlAn to find all the bacteria and microbiomes found at all the stations. Ergo...a Pathomap!

    Our team have just taken over 1400 swab samples from every stop and are currently extracting and sequencing DNA from all the samples.

    Between the staff, the swabs, the subway metrocards, the extraction/sequencing reagents, it's a very pricey project.

    We have recently opened an indiegogo account and are looking for donations towards our project. We have some very awesome gifts for each level of donation. Want to know what types of bacteria are in your home? We'll sequence the DNA for you!

    Here's the website: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pa...opic-residents

    Please donate and help us out. Thanks so much!!!

    Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
    by seqadmin




    During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

    Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...

    Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
    by seqadmin






    The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...
