Ten faculty from UC Davis are among 502 newly elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the society announced today (April 18). AAAS fellows are scientists, engineers, and innovators who have been recognized for their achievements in science, including research, teaching, administration and science communication.
Service Core’s Targeted LC-MS Team Triumphs in Q1 2024!
We are thrilled to announce that our esteemed Targeted LC-MS team has made a remarkable comeback, approaching pre-pandemic sample numbers once again! As depicted in the recent data, 2024 marks a significant milestone where resilience and innovation converge.
The lab now supports spatial transcriptomics studies with the 10X Genomics Visium chemistries.
Visium Spatial Transcriptomics and Multi-omics (sequencing based) - Our lab now supports spatial transcriptomics studies on the Visium and Visium HD platforms with the help of our 10XGenomics CytAssist instrument for fresh-frozen, fixed-frozen, and FFPE tissue sections. We are open to supporting other platforms.
I am pleased to join UC Davis and the Genome Center as the new director. First, a big thank you to Richard Michelmore for his many years of outstanding service to the Genome Center, stretching back to its founding. He and his lab members have also been helpful and accommodating to me and my lab members as we’ve moved into the Center and gotten settled. And what a move it has been!
A promising new fungicide to fight devastating crop diseases has been identified by researchers at the University of California, Davis. The chemical, ebselen, prevented fungal infections in apples, grapes, strawberries, tomatoes and roses, and improved symptoms of pre-existing fungal infection in rice.
Co-authored publications by UC Davis Genome Center Members or publications where UC Davis Genome Center or a GC Core is acknowledged for their technical support and services:
Scientists have long known that chloroplasts help plants turn the sun’s energy into food, but a new study, led by researchers in the Department of Plant Biology, shows that they’re also essential for plant immunity to viral and bacterial pathogens.
New research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) journal provides rare direct evidence showing that increased homozygosity — meaning two identical alleles in a genome — leads to negative effects on fertility in a human population.
UC Davis Genome Center's Isabelle Henry and her team are at the forefront of this battle, working to develop verticillium-resistant Black Mitcham peppermint varieties while preserving the cherished mint flavors. Discover how their groundbreaking research offers hope for a thriving Pacific Northwest mint industry.
Researchers, including Brett Phinney, Director of the UC Davis Proteomics Core, have found that newborn foals have lower levels of immune-related proteins in their lung lavage fluid compared to older foals and adult horses. The study paves the way for further investigation into the specific roles of these proteins in protecting neonatal lungs, offering valuable insights into equine health.
