Transcriptomics

We have created single neuron transcriptomes and are using in situ Hybridization Chain Reaction to map the neurons in brain and body.  Our first publication on this is now posted on BioRxiv

In collaboration with Dr. Jessica Goodheart and Dr. Deirdre Lyons, we have sequenced the genome of Berghia, discovering many unique genes.  See: Goodheart JA, Rio RA, Taraporevala NF, Fiorenza RA, Barnes SR, Morrill K, Jacob MAC, Whitesel C, Masterson P, Batzel GO, Johnston HT, Ramirez MD, Katz PS, Lyons DC.
