GENEWIZ Week Grant Program

The 5th annual GENEWIZ Week Grant Program is now open! Apply for one of six grants valued up to $5,000 in GENEWIZ credit as we recognize excellence in genomics research.

Winners will receive credit toward a GENEWIZ service that applies to their project, including next generation sequencing, synthetic DNA solutions, PCR + Sanger sequencing, Sanger-only sequencing, or 4titude consumables from Brooks Life Sciences. To apply, simply submit a short abstract (up to 250 words) describing your project. See full grant terms and conditions for contest rules and eligibility.

Submit your application by June 1, 2020 for consideration.

Learn more about our GENEWIZ Week activities including webinars about the latest genomic innovations and discoveries, limited-time GENEWIZ promotions, and more. Feel free to contact us with any question. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Ingenuity Pathways Analysis online training

Please join us on Tuesday May 19 for an online training on the Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA).

Learn how you can leverage Ingenuity IPA’s expert curation of the scientific literature from the past 18+ years and the thousands of hours spent to validate and organize NGS data from sources such as the SRA database, GEO, TCGA and more.  Researchers can easily analyze their own NGS data alongside public datasets and manual curation of literature to identify the best testable hypotheses, targets and biomarkers.

Training Agenda 
Time:                 Tuesday, May 19th, 10am-12:30pm Zoom Web Training
Presenter:        Devendra Mistry, PhD, Field Application Scientist

10-10:15am:    Introduction to IPA Database and Applications Supported
       
10:15-11:00am:   Live demo of IPA Analysis Workflow
Format, upload your data, and launch an analysis
Identify pathways associated with your gene/protein/metabolite list
Find causal regulators and their directional effect on genes functions and diseases

11:30 -1pm:     Advanced IPA Analysis Topics
Build pathways, make connections between entities, and overlay multiple dataset
Multi-groups (treatments, time points etc.) and multi-omic comparisons
o How the pathways, biological processes and regulators are regulated across different time points, treatments, disease conditions?
o Generating a list of biomarkers specific to a condition
How to gain insights from public data using Analysis Match and Activity Plot
o Compare user analysis with analyses of public datasets from GEO, SRA, TCGA etc.
o How is the regulator, pathway, biological function of interest behaving across ~60,000 public dataset analyses
