By utilizing long-read sequencing, an emerging technique that reads large sections of the genome at once, scientists at UC San Diego have revealed new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder.
At UC San Diego, high performance computing (HPC) is being woven directly into undergraduate engineering education by giving students early, hands-on experience with the same tools that drive modern research and development.
There is no evolutionary signal suggesting that these viruses were being “pre-adapted” for humans prior to their outbreaks. Instead, measurable changes in selection typically appeared only after sustained transmission began in people.
“We provide a larger platform so that others can start to make broader connections to see patterns and gaps across fields that usually don’t talk to each other," says Professor Imanuel Lerman.
A new discovery from UC San Diego researchers could enable easier treatment of high-grade serous ovarian cancer, the most common and aggressive form of ovarian cancer.
A team led by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography has released an unmatched history of kelp forests off La Jolla and Point Loma, the largest on the West Coast. The 40-year story reveals a progression of steady decline that transcends typical cycles of crash and recovery.
