Swapna Vidhur Daulatabad’s work on resolving RNA secondary structure using single-molecule approach
Swapna Vidhur Daulatabad’s work on resolving RNA secondary structure using single-molecule approach was invited for an oral presentation at Rustbelt RNA meeting 2019 at Columbus, Ohio. The talk was highlighted at the meeting and well appreciated among the RNA research community.
Janga lab awarded two grants from National Science Foundation to develop experimental and computational approaches for nanopore sequencing
Dr. Sarath Chandra Janga has been awarded an NSF EAGER grant for his project “Algorithmic frameworks and resources for mapping RNA modifications from single molecule direct RNA-sequencing data”. He is also co-PI on a SHF grant awarded by NSF for “Automated Algorithm/Hardware Co-design for Accelerating Nanopore Base-calling”. The news is featured in the IUPUI research enterprise letter here.
Two single molecule sequencing studies are invited for oral presentation talks at GLBIO’19 conference in Madison, Wisconsin
