SUMMARY:Illuminating the Dynamics of Tandem Repeat Expansions Using Long-Read Sequencing
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Valdmanis as he discusses how his lab leverages long-read sequencing to uncover the mechanisms driving tandem repeat expansions\, which underlie over 50 neurological disorders. He will also highlight how these approaches are used to identify population-specific repeat expansions undergoing positive selection.\nRegister today for free!\n\nPNRI Science Matters Seminars\nPNRI’s Science Matters free\, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics\, genomics\, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact. Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations\, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups\, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce. Learn more at: https://pnri.org/events/science-matters/.\nPlease let me know if you have any questions or need more information.
