GeneLab Hosts 2nd Annual Analysis Working Group Workshop

GeneLab hosted two meetings on Nov. 19, 2019, a day before ASGSR’s annual conference officially began. The morning began with a closed session for AWG members to provide current group statuses, discussion on current processing pipelines for various assays, and 12 round-table topics where members spent 15 minutes at each table providing input and recommendations.

GeneLab’s afternoon session, the AWG Showcase, was open to all conference attendees. The showcase featured talks by members from each of the four AWG groups (plants, multi-omics/systems biology, microbes, animals (mammals, non-animals) demonstrating the various projects, tools, and papers in development. Invited speaker Stefania Giacomello ended the showcase with a presentation on Spatially resolved transcriptome profiling in human and spaceflight mouse hearts.

Willian da Silveira updated the audience on the progress of the Multi-omics AWG.
