I'm a postdoc in Marine Science at the University of Georgia. I'm working on metatranscriptomics from marine microbial communities and the identification of novel bacterial sRNAs. I've sequenced with 454 Titanium but I'm mostly using Illumina for transcript sequencing these days. I'm interested in statistical tools for gene expression including Bayesian methods to estimate differential gene abundance and methods for correlating gene expression to environmental variables.

Hi I´m going to start a metatranscriptomics project too with bacteria from marine samples and we want also analyse in terms of comparisons among them. I´m a little concerned because I have not found approaches in this topic , using mRNA to stablish diferencial expression profiles. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
