Presented by the Center for Genomic Science Innovation
Summer 2022
From helping an unusual request to being the first institution to partner with the Defense POW/MIA agency, Charles Konsitzke explains how the UW MIA RIP uses eDNA to locate and identify missing in action soldiers.
A leading researcher in genetic risk factors with a focus in cardiovascular disease, Dr. Lo Sardo shares some of her trajectory and research.
Ting Jin, a Ph.D. student developing interpretable machine learning models, explains her research and shares what she learned during her time at UW.

Campus Technology Updates

  • UWBC DNA Sequencing Core has acquired a second PacBio Sequel II sequencer. With the addition of this instrument, they can meet the high demand for accurate, long read sequencing. Additionally, they are offering ultra-long DNA extraction and sequencing using the Oxford Nanopore Ultra-Long DNA Sequencing Kit
  • UWBC Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) has moved to suite 2130 in the Biotechnology Center. BRC has also made major changes to the website in the last year, such as the inclusion of a form to request analysis from BRC
  • UWBC Genome Editing Core has dramatically built out their cell line genome editing platform, including instrumentation to print verified, single cells and to continuously track clonal outgrowth with automated brightfield and fluorescence imaging (Cytena f.sight and Molecular Devices CloneSelect Imager FL coupled to an automated incubator with a robotic arm, respectively)
  • Animal Models Core upgraded their cryopreserved (mouse and rat sperm and embryos) data into a web access database
