  • Hello from CU Boulder

    Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gaddy, and I am a second-year PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder, in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EBIO). I am in the Fierer Lab, and in the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science (CIRES). We study soil microbial communities, and plant and animal microbiomes, which is where I come in. My research is on the bison gut microbiome, which is why I chose the handle "Tatanka."

    In our lab, we use 454 GS-FLX and Illumina HiSeq pyrosequencing. We also use the QIIME data pipeline to analyze the data we receive from these methods.

    I wanted to join this forum to learn more about bioinformatics, and to meet others in my field. Looking forward to getting to know folks here and what they do soon.

    Welcome Gaddy! My name is Dan and I actually live up in Bozeman, Montana. Insofar, I have found SEQAnswers to be a valuable resource and a friendly place for discussion.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
