    Greetings from amsterdam

    Hi everyone, I am Erik van den Bergh currently working as a PhD student at the university of amsterdam.
    I've lurked on these forums for quite a while now and I think that the time is ripe to join now. At the end of summer a big load of NGS data will come my way and I am sure that I will need some help from the people here every now and then.

    I have alot of perl programming experience as well as a big heap of experience with linux and bash scripting. I did my master thesis on network visualization using OpenGL, for which I had to learn C++. I thought my basic C skills would get me through; I thought wrong! But in the end the project was a nice achievement.

    Right now we are working on genomic comparison of plants that have undergone whole genome duplication.

    I hope that I will be able to get good information from these forums as well as help out others in need. If you have any programming or algorithmic questions, ask away!

    Erik

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
