UC San Diego History Students Seize Rare Opportunity to View Chinese Records

Science & Environment

The UC San Diego Department of History has forward-thinking graduate students. Presented with the opportunity to conduct research on a massive collection of rare Chinese archives, 12 pre-dissertation graduate students embraced the challenge, mixing history and technology to tackle a project called, “Everyday Life in Revolutionary China.” The students’ unprecedented research led to a new five-year collaboration between UC San Diego and East China Normal University in Shanghai, with the next round of research presentations scheduled for June 2016 in San Diego.

New Technique Could Expand Number of Diseases Detected by Noninvasive Prenatal Testing

Health & Behavior

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine developed a method to expand the types of chromosomal abnormalities that noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) can detect. The study, published November 9 by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses a semiconductor sequencing platform to identify small chromosomal deletions or duplications, such as occur in Cri du Chat Syndrome and DiGeorge Syndrome, with a simple blood test from the expectant mother.

This New Method Identifies Up to Twice as Many Proteins and Peptides in Mass Spectrometry Data

Health & Behavior

An international team of researchers developed a method that identifies up to twice as many proteins and peptides in mass spectrometry data than conventional approaches. The method can be applied to a range of fields, including clinical settings and fundamental biology research for cancer and other diseases. The key to the new method’s improved performance is its ability to compare data to so-called spectral libraries--essentially a pattern-matching exercise--rather than individual spectra or a database of sequences.
