Single cell genomics seminar and grant support! (October 17th, 2018)

Description:

The DNA Services lab is hosting a lunch seminar on the exciting applications of single cell genomics!  We hope you can join us for an informative seminar on single cell RNA sequencing, including new single-cell applications of Immune Profiling and ATAC-Seq. 

Please register (see link below) so that we can ensure seating and pizza for all.

See information below regarding a program to support two 2 single-cell projects for UIUC faculty grant proposals.

Featured Speakers:

Andrew Steelman, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Illinois – ‘Differences in glial activation during upper-respiratory viral infection are revealed using 10x single cell RNA-seq’

Dr. Steelman will present an overview of a 10x single-cell experiment performed in collaboration with Dr. Romana Nowak on influenza infected versus non-infected mice glial cells, discussing his techniques for cell preparation and results including identification of cell populations, percentages of cells expressing selective genes and downstream analysis of the dataset.

Melissa Leone, Sales Executive, 10x Genomics

* Reveal cellular heterogeneity and profile unique cell types individually with the Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression Solution

* Simultaneously examine the cellular context of the adaptive immune response and immune repertoires of T and B cells in human or mouse on a cell-by-cell basis with the Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling Solution

* Perform single cell epigenomics with the Chromium Single Cell Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) Solution

Please Register, seating is limited: https://10x_seminar_univofillinois.eventbrite.com

Date/time: October 17th, at 11:45am to 1pm (seminar starts at noon)

Location:               612 IGB (lower floor of gatehouse)
