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.
