Spatially resolved mapping of cells associated with human complex traits

Liyang Song, PhD student, Westlake University This is an online event held via Zoom: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/85114748391 Depicting spatial distributions of disease-relevant cells is crucial for understanding disease pathology. In our recent work, we developed a method, gsMap, that integrates spatial transcriptomics (ST) data with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics to map cells to human complex traits, including […]

RNA polymerase II at histone genes predicts outcome in human cancer

Dr Ye Zheng, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center This is an online event held via Zoom: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/85114748391 Genome-wide hypertranscription is common in human cancer and predicts poor prognosis. To understand how hypertranscription might drive cancer, we applied our formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)–cleavage under targeted accessible chromatin method for mapping RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) genome-wide in FFPE […]

Revisiting quality control, normalisation, and spatially variable gene calling in CosMx WTx

Dr Dharmesh D Bhuva, NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow (EL1), Frazer Institute, The University of Queensland This is an online event held via Zoom: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/85114748391 Spatially resolved molecular measurements have revolutionised the study of disease systems, providing an unprecedented resolution and throughput of molecular measurements. The opportunity posed by such data requires a new set of tools […]
