Self-paced Reading and Studying

The Epigenomics Core has compiled detailed information about the different types of -seq experiments they're performing.

The course notes accompanying the Applied Bioinformatics Core's RNA-seq class contain a comprehensive introduction into many aspects of high-throughput sequencing data analysis.

Meetings and Classes at WCM

WCM is part of a vibrant community of computational biologists and DNA sequencing experts!

Meetings:

Every Thursday, the Applied Bioinformatics Core offers a weekly Bioinformatics Walk-in Clinic -- for all your questions about experimental design and data analysis!

For more experienced coders and programmers, you may be interested to join the mailing list of d:bug to stay up-to-date with cool packages and state-of-the-art data science tips.

Before Planning Your Experiment

The general workflow of any experiment based on high-throughput DNA sequencing involves the following steps, whose optimal execution requires molecular biology as well as computational expertise.

WCM's infrastructure for high-throughput DNA sequencing experiments

WCM offers assistance for virtually every step that's needed for the successful implementation and interpretation of experiments involving high-throughput DNA sequencing.

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry is a fast, flexible, multi-parametric technology for analysis of cells.  Some flow cytometers, known as cell sorters, are also equipped with droplet generation/deflection modules that allow cells of interest to be recovered at high purity for additional experiments.  Most flow cytometers use fluorescence detection, but imaging- and mass-spec based flow cytometers are becoming increasingly common.  Impedance-based flow cytometers are widely used for accurate complete blood counts based on cell size and volume measurement.  The WCM CLC Flow Cytometry Core Facility offers fluor

NYC High School Students Explore STEM Fields at Weill Cornell Medicine

Getting high school students to stay inside on a warm, sunny afternoon to work on science might sound like an impossible task, but on Feb. 27 dozens of students from public high schools across New York City happily did just that.

A total of 90 teens participated in Big Red STEM Day, a Weill Cornell Medicine-led initiative designed to inspire high school students from communities underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to pursue STEM-related education and careers.
