  • 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!!!

    Recent Advances in Sequencing Analysis Tools
    by seqadmin


    The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin




    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...
