Join us in San Diego! 🌅🔬🦭🧫🐠💻🐟 Work with high-quality long read sequencing data and other cutting edge profiling of interesting TB samples. And exciting opportunities in the wet-lab to improve on current methods and test data-driven hypotheses! DM me or Faramarz Valafar

Kuldeep Gupta, working together with Celena Gwin (they/she), discovered that a protein of unknown function in mycobacteria (PgfA) is recruited to one side of the cell by our favorite protein LamA, where it coordinates lipid trafficking and fast polar growth

A few of us from the Single Cell Genomics team went to a stained glass workshop Color Glass Shop. I asked the friendly sequencing lab techs in the CNAG to save the used Illumina flow cells, and here is my first attempt at sci-art 🧪🎨. It could be a flower, or the sun, or...?

Humans excel at science when they are emotionally detached from the subjects under investigation. Emotions can pose a challenge even for self-aware people aiming for objectivity. Protein to RNA correspondence seems to engender enough feelings to challenge objectivity. 🧵🧵🧵

I am proud to announce the latest article from Valafar Lab led by Afif, published by Oxford Journals. Here, we evaluate syntenic block detection strategies, build a combined rearrangement/SNP tree for comprehensive phylogeny of clinical #tuberculosis. academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

Very happy to have our latest work published in Drug Resistance Updates. It highlights an interesting, clinically important case where targeted molecular diagnostics fail to correctly classify drug-resistant TB due to primer evasion.

Our first research paper on the genomic epidemiology of drug resistant Tuberculosis in Mexico just published! 🧬🇲🇽 Grateful for the incredible team who made this possible CuauhtemocLC, Industrial Genomics Lab, Roberto Zenteno Cuevas, Dr. Julio, Dr. Enciso #WGS journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
