October 31, 2016

UC San Diego’s Computer Science and Engineering department and Illumina Inc. co-sponsored DNA Day 2016, a day-long workshop featuring talks and cutting-edge bioinformatics and genomics research, including several speakers with dual appointments in CSE and the UC San Diego School of Medicine.

New Insights into 3D Genome Organization and Genetic Variability

February 18, 2015

While genomics is the study of all of the genes in a cell or organism, epigenomics is the study of all the genomic add-ons and changes that influence gene expression but aren’t encoded in the DNA sequence. A variety of new epigenomic information is now available in a collection of…

For Neurons, Where They Begin Isn’t Necessarily Where They End

April 20, 2022

Scientists at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Rady Children’s Institute of Genomic Medicine describe novel methods for inferring the movement of human brain cells during fetal development by studying healthy adult individuals who have recently passed away from natural causes.

A panel of distinguished experts will discuss the role of computation and data analytics in supporting discovery throughout the biological sciences when XSEDE13 – the annual conference focusing on computer science, education, outreach, software, and technology – is held July 22-25 in San Diego.

New Grant Will Fund Collaborative Effort to Build Reproducible Assays To Model Autism

September 22, 2015

The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $13 million grant over five years to develop and disseminate new stem cell-based technologies and assays for studying autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other mental health diseases to a consortium of researchers at the University of California, San Diego and the Salk…

SDSC’s “Big Data” Expertise Aiding Genomics Research

March 20, 2012

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, has in the last three years undergone a major reboot, remaking itself into a center of expertise on all aspects of “big data” research including genomics, one of the fastest growing areas of scientific study.

Netflix-Style Algorithm Builds Blueprint of Cancer Genomes

June 15, 2022

The science behind predicting your viewing habits on Netflix could one day be used to guide doctors in managing some of the hardest-to-treat cancers, shows a study led by the University of California San Diego and University College London.

UC San Diego, UC San Francisco Launch New Cancer Cell Mapping Initiative

January 29, 2015

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and University of California, San Francisco, with support from a diverse team of collaborators, have launched an ambitious new project – dubbed the Cancer Cell Map Initiative or CCMI – to determine how all of the components of a…

New Insight Into Genesis of Spina Bifida

May 8, 2024

Spina bifida is the most common structural disorder of the human nervous system. The causes are largely unknown, but University of California San Diego researchers led a study that points to a link involving a chromosomal microdeletion — and also underscores the value of folic acid as a preventive measure.
