Hello Community!
My name is Michel Choudalakis, Im a synthetic chemist (bioinorganic) by original training and now Im finishing my PhD on human methyl-lysine reading domains (protein domains that bind to histone PTMs). That involves intermolecular protein-protein interactions (chemistry), recombinant proteins and characterisation (biochemistry), and ChIP-seq/epigenetics (molecular biology). That means I am a late-comer to proper bioinformatics (past 1 year) and so far my actual programming skils are restricted to the FORTRAN I learned 20 years ago to use specialized large equipement and some bits of UNIX commands. I expect I will get more experience in the future. Until then I am looking forward to getting to read cools news and ideas and get to know at least some of you!!
Cheers,
Michel

At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...09-26-2023, 06:26 AM -
Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...09-07-2023, 11:15 PM
