Supposing that this term (negro) was originally used as a phrase of contempt, is it not wilh us to elevate it? How often has it not happened that names originally given in reproach have been afterward adopted as a title of honor by those against whom they were used, as Methodists, Quakers, etc. t But as a proof that no unfavorable signification attached to the word when first employed, I may mention that long before the slave trade began travelers found the blacks on the coast of Africa preferring to be called Negroes.

  • Pooled CRISPR-Activation Screening Coupled with Single-Cell RNA-Seq in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells
    ll OPEN ACCESS Protocol Pooled CRISPR-activation screening coupled with single-cell RNA-seq in mouse embryonic stem cells Celia Alda-Catalinas, Melanie A. Eckersley-Maslin, Wolf Reik celia.x.aldacatalinas@gsk. com (C.A.-C.) [email protected]. uk (W.R.) Highlights Protocol for CRISPRa screens with single- cell readout to interrogate gene function Detailed description of CRISPRa screening procedures in mouse embryonic stem cells Detailed steps on how to construct derived single-cell sgRNA amplicon libraries CRISPR/Cas9 screens are a powerful approach to identify key regulators of biological processes. By combining pooled CRISPR/Cas9 screening with a single-cell RNA-sequencing readout, individual perturbations can be assessed in parallel both comprehensively and at scale. Importantly, this allows gene function and regulation to be interrogated at a cellular level in an unbiased manner. Here, we present a protocol to perform pooled CRISPR-activation screens in mouse embryonic stem cells using 103 Genomics scRNA-seq as a readout.

  • Functional Effects Detailed Research Plan
    GeCIP Detailed Research Plan Form Background The Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP) brings together researchers, clinicians and trainees from both academia and the NHS to analyse, refine and make new discoveries from the data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. The aims of the partnerships are: 1. To optimise: • clinical data and sample collection • clinical reporting • data validation and interpretation. 2. To improve understanding of the implications of genomic findings and improve the accuracy and reliability of information fed back to patients. To add to knowledge of the genetic basis of disease. 3. To provide a sustainable thriving training environment. The initial wave of GeCIP domains was announced in June 2015 following a first round of applications in January 2015. On the 18th June 2015 we invited the inaugurated GeCIP domains to develop more detailed research plans working closely with Genomics England. These will be used to ensure that the plans are complimentary and add real value across the GeCIP portfolio and address the aims and objectives of the 100,000 Genomes Project. They will be shared with the MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and Cancer Research UK as existing members of the GeCIP Board to give advance warning and manage funding requests to maximise the funds available to each domain. However, formal applications will then be required to be submitted to individual funders. They will allow Genomics England to plan shared core analyses and the required research and computing infrastructure to support the proposed research. They will also form the basis of assessment by the Project’s Access Review Committee, to permit access to data.

  • President's Message
    Winter Issue 2013–2014 SOT News President’s Message I’m starting this President’s message with a quiz!!! It’s just one question, but it’s important that everyone knows the answer. The question is: What do prenatal programming and toxicity, perfluorinalkyl acids ,and human relevance of hemangiosarcomas in rodents have in common? [the answer appears at the end of this message]. While you ponder the answer to that question, I want to reflect on events of this fall and focus on several activities of the Society during recent times of uncertainty. The shutdown of the US government had some effect on nearly all of us. Important meetings, study sections, and day-to- day professional discussion and dialog were all furloughed during this time. However, the most significant impact was on our members who are government employees, and we can only hope that these matters are completely behind us. Unfortunately, there were significant deadlines for SOT matters scheduled during this time, particularly for abstract submissions and award President nominations. Lois D. Lehman- McKeeman I want to specifically acknowledge the work of the Scientific Program and Awards Committees for showing remarkable flexibility in modifying deadlines to accommodate member needs. As a quick review, the Awards committee moved deadlines for nominations to the last possible minute—giving them only about 1 week to review all nominations prior to meeting to select award winners. The prestigious Society awards are central to celebrating member accomplishments, and the work of this committee, against their own time limitations, underscores their commitment to this important activity.

The Arc offers access to each of the critical ingredients for business and innovation-led growth. This collective offer represents a powerful and coherent expression of the region’s current assets and future potential. This Economic Vision for the Arc sets out an ambition and series of proposals designed to unlock the economic potential of the region and deliver transformative growth for the UK between now and 2050. It provides a vision for how the Arc can better connect its unique and world-leading assets to become truly globally competitive in frontier markets, both for business investment and for top talent. With a bolder brand and stronger international presence the Arc can continue to lead the whole of the UK to the forefront of global innovation excellence in the coming years and decades. 3 | Introduction This Economic Vision is built upon the foundation of This Economic Vision has been developed in the four local industrial strategies which currently partnership with the three LEPs and the Combined demarcate the Arc’s geographic area.
