Sandelin group

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:12:58 -0500

Sandelin group have a deep interest in most biology, but focus on gene regulation and the many areas that are connected with this, including transcriptomics, epigenetics and technological and informatics aspects.

The group is both computational and experimental.

We ask biological questions to large datasets made using novel genomics techniques, with the help of computers. One of the strengths in the group are the many connections to high-profile experimental laboratories which supply data to be analyzed.

LAPTI Lab

Thu, 12 Dec 2013 18:19:12 -0600

The main theme of our research is the understanding of how genetic information is decoded from DNA into RNA and proteins. Someone may find this topic a little strange and argue that we already know how this is happening.

Translational recoding.

RNA editing.

Evolution of the genetic code and translation.

NCBI Webinar

Jit — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 02:47:01 -0500

In less than two weeks, NCBI will offer a webinar entitled "Introducing 3 NCBI Resources to Navigate Testing for Disease Linked Variants: MedGen, GTR and ClinVar". This webinar will delve into the lifecycle of genetic testing and teach attendees how to navigate the NIH Genetic Testing Registry, ClinVar, and MedGen resources. These resources can be used to prepare for clinical cases, access detailed information about orderable genetic tests, interpret test results, and more.

Biology, Computers Collide in High-Demand Field of Bioinformatics

Mon, 25 Aug 2014 00:56:10 -0500

Dr. Shivas Amin calls bioinformatics a "collision of biology and computers." Students learn how to use computers and skills in math and biology to analyze genome and proteome projects to prepare for high-demand jobs in the life sciences. Learn more about Amin and hear from student Medina Baitemirova and alumnus Lukas Simon about the fast-growing field of bioinformatics.
