He is a familiar name to most genomics researchers, and he actually spent his early years in Maryland. Please note that we are returning to our afternoon time (seminar info below). There are a few openings for a one-on-one meeting with him after his talk. Let me know if you’d like one. Postdocs and students are welcome to join the fellows tea with the speaker right after his talk in the same zoom link as the talk (send me RSVP for my count). Cole Trapnell developed many widely used bioinformatics tools including TopHat, Cufflinks, Bowtie, and Monocle. His group has also co-developed, along with Jay Shendure’s lab, a scalable workflow for single-cell genomics called “combinatorial cellular indexing”. They recently used this approach to construct a transcriptional atlas for the C. elegans nematode and profile organogenesis in the mouse at whole-embryo scale.
