About Andrew Stergachis (Univ. of Washington)
Andrew B. Stergachis is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Genome Sciences at the University of Washington and runs a research group focused on developing and applying single-molecule chromatin fiber sequencing approaches to unravel the functional impact of non-coding genetic and epigenetic variants
About this Class
In this talk, Dr. Stergachis will present data on using Fiber-seq and deaminase-assisted Fiber-seq (DAF-seq) to resolve the functional impact of both germline and somatic genetic variants, as well as to identify somatic epimutations that arise during normal human development and oncogenesis.
