Single-cell neurogenetics | AGBT 2015

Written by Behind The Bench Staff | Published: 03.11.2015

We profiled ‘Taking the Sequencer to where the samples are – the open ocean’ about the University of Florida – Saint Augustine’s work, highlighting Dr. Leonid Moroz and his RNA-Seq work on ctenophores (an organism that shows remarkable neuroregenerative properties).

At the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology conference we interviewed a close collaborator of his, Dr. Andrea Kohn also at the University of Florida, who gave a presentation entitled “Single-Cell Methylome Profiling: Integration of a Transcriptome and Methylome From Individual Identified Neurons”.

She shares some of the highlights of her talk and her thoughts about setting up an Ion PGM™ instrument on their floating laboratory at sea.

For more information about this project and their work their laboratory homepage is here, and our prior post ‘Taking the Sequencer to where the samples are – the open ocean’ is here.
