ALT Community Science Program (FY26) Congratulations to our CSP Functional Genomics Call recipients! JGI Jiaqi Tan Louisiana State University Functional transcriptomics of plant-microbe interactions
ALT After a first-year seminar course on becoming a scientist was implemented at scale, student outcomes improved,

ALT Quote: Cancer is a really complex disease. It’s like a diabolical symphony. Just one instrument doesn’t make the symphony… You have to put all the instruments together to make the sound of cancer.
ALT Quote: I don't think researchers at the LSU Museum of Natural Sciences pioneering tissue preservation in the 1970s could even imagine that 40 to 50 years later, we would be sequencing whole genomes from those samples left and right.
ALT Quote: It’s incredible to me, the level of personalized cancer care we can now do because we have the sequence of our entire DNA. We are in the golden age of genomics.
ALT Quote: RNA is the message transcribed from your DNA. With single-cell RNA sequencing, we can now map out and know what types of cells are expressing what, which is pretty cool.
