CCB Seminar: New tools for multi-modal precision measurement of single cells

Talk by Aaron Streets (Professor of Bioengineering, UC Berkeley) Zoom link: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/94126540718 Abstract: The study of biology at the single-cell level has relied on the development of precision measurement tools. Our research is focused on developing new technology for multimodal, precision measurement of single cells to move beyond cataloging cell types and push towards gaining a mechanistic […]

CCB Seminar: Why are most human phenotypes so extremely polygenic?

Talk by Dr. Jonathan Pritchard (Professor of Genetics and of Biology, Stanford University) Zoom link: https://berkeley.zoom.us/j/99751830878 Abstract: One of the central challenges in genetics is to understand the mapping from genetic variation to phenotypic variation. During the past 15 years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been used to study the genetic basis of a wide variety […]
