April 2, 2015
The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) will begin addressing a rapidly emerging area of interest in data science by holding its first Graph Analytics “boot camp” on Thursday, April 23rd, at its location on the UC San Diego campus in La Jolla, California.
In Four Related Papers, Researchers Describe New and Improved Tools for Stem Cell Research
April 6, 2017
In a new paper, a large team of researchers led by senior author Kelly Frazer, PhD, professor of pediatrics and director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, describe a new collection of 222 systematically derived and characterized iPSC lines generated as…
Novel Stem Cell-Derived Model Created of Inflammatory Neurological Disorder
August 10, 2017
An international team of scientists, led by University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers, has created a human stem cell-based model of a rare, but devastating, inherited neurological autoimmune condition called Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome (AGS). In doing so, the team was able to identify unusual and surprising underlying genetic…
UC San Diego Scientists Create Device for Ultra-Accurate Genome Sequencing of Single Human Cells
October 31, 2017
Interdisciplinary team of UC San Diego researchers develop a way to very accurately sequence and haplotype genomes from single human cells. The breakthrough appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Six UC San Diego Professors Named 2017 AAAS Fellows
November 20, 2017
UC San Diego professors Michael Burkart, Catherine Constable, Richard Gallo, William Gerwick, Miroslav Krstic and Lorraine Pillus have been awarded the distinction of fellow by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the largest general science organization in the United States and publisher of the journal Science.
Applying the Goldilocks Principle to DNA Structure
June 24, 2019
Inspired by ideas from the physics of phase transitions and polymer physics, UC San Diego researchers set out specifically to determine the organization of DNA inside the nucleus of a living cell. The findings of their study suggest that the phase state of the genomic DNA is “just right”—a gel…
Stem Cells, CRISPR and Gene Sequencing Technology are Basis of New Brain Cancer Model
January 28, 2020
University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers created a new type of brain cancer model for glioblastoma using stem cells, CRISPR and gene sequencing.
Mapping Mutation ‘Hotspots’ in Cancer Reveals New Drivers and Biomarkers
February 9, 2022
UC San Diego researchers have identified a previously unrecognized key player in cancer evolution: clusters of mutations occurring at certain regions of the genome. These mutation clusters contribute to the progression of about 10% of human cancers and can be used to predict patient survival.
