Bioinformatics: an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data. As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data.
I’ll talk about Strand NGS Server, our server-client NGS offering. Strand NGS server is geared towards small-to-medium scale clinical labs with high-volume sequencing throughputs and lo...

Genetic testing currently plays a relatively niche role in healthcare, with testing typically limited to single genes and targeting a relatively narrow range of diseases, including paediatric...
In this seminar, I will discuss issues in transcriptome analysis. I will first talk about core aspects - how we analyze the activity patterns of genes in model organisms and humans. I will fo...
Many computational approaches exist for predicting the effects of amino acid substitutions from protein sequence. These are often (incorrectly) used for judging disease predisposition from in...
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analyses have identified genetic associations with a wide range of human phenotypes. However, many of the...
When studying the transcriptome, most of our inferences revolve around changes in average expression. However, more recent examples have demonstrated that analysis of the variability of gene...
