Anesthesia-related Tweets during COVID-19 Twitter has become a social media nexus for the sharing of information, and in an Anesthesia & Analgesia Journal article published in April 2021, members of C3G’s Toronto Node at SickKids examined the way Twitter was used to share anesthesia-related information during the COVID-19 pandemic. [Read more] A Coordinated Progression of Progenitor Cell States Initiates Urinary Tract Development Oraly Sanchez-Ferras from the Goodman Cancer Research Centre recently published a paper in Nature Communications. She reveals how the formation of tissues proceeds through a progression of different progenitors. This understanding is important for the generation of organ [Read more] Whole Genome STR Analysis By David Lougheed About Short Tandem Repeats In early 2021, Jeffrey Hyacinthe, another student here in Guillaume Bourque’s lab, wrote about repetitive sequences, focusing on transposable elements (TEs). Here I will discuss another type of repetitive sequence: short tandem repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites. [Read more] New study analyzes different mechanisms in the establishment of sex-phenotype dependent methylation in mouse livers By Hector Galvez and Qinwei Zhuang AlOgayil, N., Bauermeister, K., Galvez, J.H. et al. Distinct roles of androgen receptor, estrogen receptor alpha, and BCL6 in the establishment of sex-biased DNA methylation in mouse liver. [Read more] How do jumping genes contribute to human diversity? by Clement Goubert In recognition of Transposons Day 2021 (June 16th), let’s take a look at the importance of active mobile genomic elements (once called “junk DNA”) to human health and diseases. Illustration: ANDRZEJ KRAUZE We are hosts to genomic hitchhikers [Read more] ‘CHANGE’ through the eyes of a Business Analyst By Mary Ann Kizhakechethipuza “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” – Niccolò Machiavelli The [Read more] McGill researchers awarded Azrieli Science Grant for RNA and the brain Dr. Wayne Sossin, Professor at The Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, Montreal, has been awarded a grant through the Azrieli Science Grants Program as principal investigator for a research project titled “Determining how stalled polysomes are generated for [Read more] Astronaut gut microbiome alterations induced by long-duration confinement Throughout long-duration spaceflight, maintaining astronaut health is crucial to the feasibility of a manned mission to Mars. In the longest controlled human confinement study conducted to date, the ground-based Mars500 experiment investigated long-duration health by isolating six astronauts for 520 days. [Read more] The Biobanque Québécoise The Biobanque Québécoise de la COVID-19 (BQC19) is a province-wide biobank which mission is to provide high-quality data and samples to the scientific and medical community in order to better understand, combat and limit the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This initiative is led [Read more] Genetics & Genomics Analysis Platform: version 2 We are pleased to announce that the new version of GenAP is now available here. This release offers a completely re engineered platform that leverages Cloud resources at Compute Canada, and will eventually be deployed as well on other HPC resources. It [Read more]Anesthesia-related Tweets during COVID-19
