We're excited to announce our scientific sessions for the 2024 Annual Meeting (September 18-20 in Boston)! Over the next few days we'll be sharing our session topics, but if you can't wait, check out the full list here: https://buff.ly/3PBBG8h Last but not least: Spatial biology: Creating cellular and molecular maps of tissues Image-based methods for spatial-omics profiling to study how cells communicate with each other and respond within their environment and how these technologies are accelerating clinical diagnostic and target discovery processes

This piece by Nature is by far the best and most approachable illustration I've seen of what #MERFISH (exclusively commercially available from Vizgen via it's #MERSCOPE platform) enables, in terms of cell atlasing. For those not in that world, atlasing is understanding the cell types, and ideally location and interactions of cells in a tissue (be it healthy or diseased). In this case, they used single cell sequencing to know generally what the types of cells were, followed by MERFISH to build a 3D map of the heart's cell types and functions, including previously unknown layers of the heart muscle. More broadly this technology has huge potential across the research community, including Oncology / IO, developmental biology, agrobiology, and general understanding of how organs and tissues work, as well as how to treat them when they don't... https://lnkd.in/gjHRAXdm

We are excited to share a tiny sneak peek into the key findings from #CCUS stakeholder interviews conducted by Senni Määttä from Radboud University! Understanding the complexities of CCUS deployment means recognising the many interconnected dimensions, enablers and barriers. A holistic approach is crucial to ensure CCUS efforts support, rather than hinder, other interventions. #CCUS #Sustainability #HorizonEU #CINEA #CaLby2030

The interstitium: the unseen, in between "The interstitium is a body wide system virtually unknown to Western scientists until quite recently. It’s unified; connecting and wrapping around our organs, nerves, arteries, basically everything." The work of connecting is as unseen in our own bodies as it is in our communities, organisations and systems 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehbfyCXq

In our current series we are highlighting our fellow EOSC Family projects, their mission, consortium, and values. 💡 In this installment we are introducing the EOSC-ENTRUST project. EOSC Entrust is a new project of the EOSC family aiming to create a European network of Trusted Research Environments (TREs) for sensitive data and drive European interoperability by joint development of a common blueprint for federated data access and analysis.

In this current series is introducing our fellow EOSC Family projects, their mission, consortium, and values. 💡 This installment presents the FAIRCORE4EOSC project, which aims to bridge the gaps identified by the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) by delivering nine EOSC-Core components supporting a FAIR research life cycle. The project will work in close collaboration with other members of the EOSC ecosystem, including the EOSC Association itself.

Cairns, what’s not to love about this place and what’s not to love about #Genomics and #AGTA2024. Come have a chat with me and Marta about all things Opentrons Labworks Inc. and 10x Genomics Millennium Science

Introns, Exons, Intergenic space Are introns intergenic? Properties. Intergenic regions are different from intragenic regions \(or introns\), which are short, non-coding regions that are found within genes, especially within the genes of eukaryotic organisms. Scientists have now artificially synthesized proteins from intergenic regions. Introns are found in the genes of most organisms and many viruses and can be located in a wide range of genes, including those that generate proteins, ribosomal RNA \(rRNA\) and transfer RNA \(tRNA\). Problems: What is a general observation about genomes? A\) Bacterial genomes have more genes than mammalian genomes B\) In mammalian genomes, introns are generally larger than the intergenic regions C\) All transcripts derived from a genome are translated into proteins D\) The number of genes in the human genome is accurately known E\) Mammalian genomes contain much repetitive DNA, making sequence assembly difficult Which of the following is a major difference between RNA and DNA? A\) type of sugar B\) type of phosphate C\) type of purines D\) all of these are major differences Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/duPDzD4R \#nikolays_genetics_lessons
