Class lectures. I like giving them, but every year I know students don’t learn the material very well.

A Proposal for new investigators (First Published in 2010; Revisited 2022)

As a new principal investigator (PI) I encourage other new PIs to hire underprivileged youths from high school as lab assistants into their new lab.

Typically when you are a new investigator:

Thank you to everyone working on a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine

Not blind scientism, but you know science is saving the world right now, so maybe some acknowledgment of the magnitude of this feat?
How many people can say they are saving billions of lives?

Thank you to everyone that is working on a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

The fate of the world is resting in your hands!

GENEDIG VIDEO (Revisited 2018)

Here's our new GeneDig video, called GeneDig: Democratizing access to genomics from GeneDig.

New Feature on GeneDig: Automated Molecular Biology!

Brian Chen — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 14:54:11 +0000

I am thrilled to announce the launch of a new feature on GeneDig: Automated Molecular Biology! Our algorithm will do all of the thinking for you…

In your GeneDig User Account, select any DNA file(s) and click on the Molecular Assembly icon.

Then edit the DNA sequence to your desired end product. Our algorithm will display all of the possible experimental protocols that will produce your final product, including which primers and reagents to order. You can sort the protocols based on time, cost, and ease.

Congratulations to my Students!

Kudos to my two trainees Chiu-An Lo and Ibrahim Kays, who were awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Brain Star award for 2016!

A well-deserved $1500 for them, they worked super hard on this project over the years. Their science game is strong.

With Vedrana Cvetkovska winning in 2013, I now have a 100% hit rate for my grad students winning this CIHR award.

THANKS, GENEDIG!

I was curious about trinucleotide repeat disorders like Huntington’s disease and where the trinucleotide repeats occurred in the Huntingtin RNA, near the beginning, middle, or end of the RNA?
