    Hello from Wisconsin

    Hiya folks, I'm new to computational biology, got a gig doing analysis for Kathy Barton in the Department of Plant Biology at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, although I live in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a plasma physicist, and currently teach elementary physics at the UW-Madison as a lecturer when they need me, as well as owning a web app company (IMS) here in Madison where I do a lot of Java programming. I left experimental physics research in 1998.

    You may have seen me if you were at the Cold Spring Harbor Lab conference on Gene Informatics a couple weeks ago.

    Right now I'm working on a bunch of RNA-Seq data (Otogenetics/DNANexus) as well as some older microarray data on similar samples. This is Arabidopsis thaliana, of course.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
