Epic Win: Breaking new ground
My biggest success of grad school has been doing chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing for the transcription factor I study in a tissue type where it has been completely uncharacterized. People have tried to do similar experiments before and have been unsuccessful. Through this experiment I have brought new techniques to the lab and been forced to step outside of my comfort zone. I have also learned how to code and do bioinformatics analysis which is something that I have always wanted to learn and understand.

Sampling the proteome by emerging single-molecule and mass-spectrometry methods
MacCoss, Alfaro, Wanunu, Faivre, Slavov
arxiv.org, 2022
Summary points:
comparing lc ms to methods like chipseq, illumina sequencing, nanopore (?) etc to evaluate potential advancement sin technology and best strategy for proteomics
needs to have high molecule counting capabilities to account for big dynamic range (this sections doesn't make direct comparison to small molecule methods)
ion counting- not all ions get measured, not all measured ions map to peptides,
ion counting issues also relate to dynamic range problem- more abundant proteins take up more of the ions and the odds of counting a low abundant peptide ion is low
scalability- single molecule methods work for those because they require fewer reads than a protein method would, so far it is hard to scale up relative to LC MS
scalability in some cases also has to do with scale of microscopy, which further makes large scale single molecule methods very challenging/ not high throughput
LCMS is limited still by enzymes used to digest samples, requirement of peptides being in gas phase, ionization efficiency
other things to improve in LC MS- fractionation, overcoming sample bias, counting multiple molecules at once, considering the profitability vs importance of technology development (LCMS is less profitable but potentially more powerful)
questions:
are there ways to streamline fractionation processes to make this a less labor intensive way of expanding proteome coverage?
how is ionization efficiency measured? or increased?
why is such a small fraction (1/50,pg 10) of the ion beam being used ? how does this number change with various setting on the mass spec and experimental set up? (& ESI setup)
how do you isolate a single cell for single cell proteomics??

Postdoc: MaxPlanck_Tuebingen.ComplexTraitGenomicsAndStemCells.Mouse
GENETIC MAPPING IN MOUSE INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS USING *IN VITRO* CROSSES (HybridMiX) Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Max Planck Campus, Tbingen, Germany Two postdoctoral positions (both for 2 years in the first instance) are available in the Chan Lab at the Max Planck Institute in Tbingen as part of our HybridMiX team, which is supported by an 1.5M EUR European Research Council (ERC) grant on using "in vitro" mitotic recombination crosses to study species differences between mouse species. The key innovation in the HybridMiX project is the development of in vitro recombination (IVR) in tissue culture, specifically in F1 interspecific hybrid mouse ES cells for genetic mapping (see Lazzarano et al., PNAS, 2018). IVR allows us to create recombinant cell lines across species of effectively unlimited panel size, at low costs and within. We now aim to map the evolutionary divergence between mouse species at the tissue and cellular level by generating interspecific panels and obtaining their phenotypes via tissue engineering, organ-on-a-chip or droplet microfluidic single-cell methods. We're looking for highly motivated candidates (both wet and dry-lab) to contribute to the broader team effort in our HybridMiX project in tissue engineering and genetic mapping. The successful candidates should be about to earn, or have recently earned their PhD in the areas of genetics, molecular biology or regenerative medicine (wet-lab position); or statistical, functional or quantitative genomics (dry-lab computational position). Successful candidates should demonstrate their early career success in the form of a first author publication or preprint in prep. The ideal candidates should have the following qualifications. 1) Wet-bench Postdoc: You should demonstrate expertise in tissue culture techniques, especially in the area of differentiation or flow-based cultures. Alternatively you may be familiar with single-cell techniques and with performing functional genomics experiments such as RNAseq, ATACseq and ChIPseq. Together, we aim to use these approaches to dissect the genetic architecture of gene expression evolution in mouse tissue models. For this position, a background in genetic mapping or GWAS will be advantageous. 2) Data analysis Postdoc: You should have a strong background in analyzing genomic data and the proficiency to handle large datasets, (e.g. skills in Unix, R and scripting or programming languages). In our projects we routinely integrate information from diverse sources, including single-cell, linked-read, chromosome conformation capture, as well as image analysis to assist with our analyses of cellular and tissue-level phenotypes and genotypes. For both positions, a background in evolutionary biology will be helpful, but not a requirement. We are interested in candidates who are keen to apply and develop new genetic tools and technologies. You will have plenty of opportunity to develop independent research ideas within our in vitro cross framework. We are a multidisciplinary team that focuses on the systems biology of development and evolution in mice, combining population and functional genomics with molecular biology and tissue engineering techniques to investigate the evolution of complex genomes like the mouse. Our research group is funded by the ERC and the Max Planck Society and is located on the Max Planck Campus in Tbingen, Germany. The Max Planck Tbingen Campus is a highly innovative research hub with world-class genomics and machine learning expertise. Our sequencing core features the Illumina, PacBio and 10X Genomics platforms. English is the working language. All seminars and communications are in English. The position is available for an initial 2 years with the possibility of extension. Salary and benefits are according to the German public service pay scale (TVD Bund up to and including E13) and are commensurate with training and experience. The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. For more information please see: http://bit.ly/2JgtCoC Consideration of applications will begin on 1 Dec 2018. The projected start date is in early 2019 but can be negotiable. Please send your informal enquires or applications to Dr. Frank Chan at [email protected]. Complete applications should include: 1. a statement of research interests and why you have applied for this position, 2. your CV, and 3. three reference contacts Publication: Lazzarano et al., Genetic mapping of species differences via in vitro crosses in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Biomed Grid | Recent Advance in Biomedical Omics Data Analysis
Short Communication
Sequencing technology is dominant in the study of complex human genetic diseases. Identified risk genes and other biomarkers will make genetic counselling, risk assessment and avoidance, and disease diagnosis and treatment possible. Benefit from the discovered biomarkers, many diseases could be accurate diagnosed and prevented, as well as accurate treated. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms of many neuropsychiatric disorders are still unclear and there are no effective treatments for these neuropsychiatric disorders. The rapid development of whole genome sequencing technology, large amounts of genetic data are generated concerning larger cohorts with diverse neuropsychiatric disorders [1], making it possible to detect various genetic variants, i.e. SNVs, InDels, and SVs. Genetic research of these disorders are focused on genome-wide association analysis (GWAS), pedigree analysis, twin family studies, trio family studies, etc., Over the last decades, GWAS have identified several hundred loci for neuropsychiatric disorders successfully [2,3]. Whole exome/ genome sequencing have greatly facilitated the identification of risk de novo variants [4]. Besides, with the increasing amount of patient cohorts, more and more risk mutations have been discovered [5].
However, there is still a deep gap between the explaining the molecular mechanisms and thousands of risk gene locis identified in the past years using GWAS. For example, it has been reported that 142 risk mutation locis contribute to schizophrenia, while most of these locis do not contain any genes and it is not clear how they related to the disorder. Traditional single-dimensional genomic study are less useful in explaining the mechanisms of these disorders [6,7]. However, with the decreasing cost of sequencing technologies, large amounts of omics data become available using RNA-seq [8]. ChIp-seq [9]. Methyl-seq [10] Hi-C[11-12] and ATACseq [13-14] etc Whole exome/genome sequencing could generate the sequence information of genes. RNA-seq technology could be used for genotyping and identification of transcription factor binding sites, as well as generating gene expression data. ChIpseq (Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing) could be used for genome-wide profiling of DNA-binding proteins, histone modifications or nucleosomes. Methyl-seq could be used for detecting and quantify DNA methylation. Hi-C (high throughput chromatin conformation capture) technology is a method to study the three-dimensional architecture of genomics and could be used to comprehensively detect chromatin interactions in the mammalian nucleus. And ATAC-Seq (assay for transposaseaccessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing) could be used for mapping chromatin accessibility genome-wide. With all these biotechnologies, we could detect mutations in gene sequence, gene regulation and epigenetic mechanisms, reactivities of methylated and nonmethylated cytosines, chromatin interactions, and variations in gene expressions under complex disease phenotypes.
Recently, the accumulation of multi-omics data and singlecell sequencing data have greatly promoted the development of machine learning algorithms, statistical learning methods, and deep learning methods. Integrative analysis of multi-omics data generated by various sequencing technologies is helpful for screening robustness biomarkers related to diseases. Diagnosis and treatment should be further personalized according to multidimensional information [15]. Nowadays, applications of machine learning and deep learning methods are becoming ubiquitous in biology and encompass not only risk gene identification, but also protein binding prediction, disease subtypes classification, and transcriptional regulatory networks characterization, etc. [16,17]. In the near future, these intelligent computational methods should be further used to multi-omics data integrated analysis.
