Multi-Omics: Tools for Unraveling Biological Complexity & Disease - OHSU

Studies in genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics have shaped our understanding of cellular complexity and heterogeneity. Technological advances are now enabling cost-efficient, high-throughput analysis of biological molecules, and have offered researchers an opportunity to combine the interrogation of DNA, RNA, and epigenome in order to better understand genotype-phenotype interactions.

In this seminar, we will review recent research that incorporates multi-omic approaches and introduce the tools that enabled this research, which include sequencing and array-based technologies, and library prep solutions for both bulk and single-cell analysis. Information on core services will be provided by Christina Harrington.

Speakers Include:

• Jonathan Bibliowicz, PhD, Sr. Sequencing Specialist, Illumina, Inc.
• Christina Harrington, PhD, Director, Integrated Genomics Lab and Gene Profiling Shared Resource
• Lucia Carbone, PhD, Director of Epigenetics Consortium, Knight Cardiovascular Institute (KCVI)
